Arthur Vidich with Paul Vidich, probably in London

Art and Virginia Vidich traveled to London while their second son, Paul, was only a few weeks old. Art lived in London when the "London Fog" referred to the air pollution that pervaded the atmosphere of this ancient city. The winter air was so bad that buses had attendants in front to make sure the driver did not inadvertently run over anyone. The air was so bad, according to Art, that you could not see more than 3 feet in front of you.

This photo was taken during the summer of 1951 when air quality was at its best.
