I must be honest and say that his age could be 30. I can't make it out from the photo and it was difficult to take photos at the time as there was a big Christmas Card sale going on in the church!

Hello Berenice

He was 20 years old, about a month short of his 21st birthday.

Berenice,

It was very fortunate that you had your camera with you at the time!
