Talk:Foster W. Stearns

Foster Waterman Stearns and Frank Waterman Stearns

edit

Frank Waterman Stearns is the father of Foster Waterman Stearns. I often see a photograph of Frank given for Foster. One source of confusion is likely the fact that Frank often went by his initials, F.W., which also fit Foster. For reference I offer two depictions of Foster and one of Frank, so that future editors may know the difference.
