According to the Associated Press's caption in the April 23, 1946 issue of The South Bend Tribune:
Arris Poulos, 27, feigns shock after his first look at triplets born at New York City to his wife, Nora. Dr. Carl Strauss of Lutheran hospital (right) lends a steadying hand.

Here’s a photo of my grandfather, Dr. Carl Strauss (on the right) holding up a father that just learned he had triplets! My aunt found this in the archives by Jake Schroeder and @reddit - it was on the cover in 1946
Can you imagine not knowing how many kids you were about to have? Thank goodness for ultrasounds! Click the link in my bio for more amazing photos…
Three boys named Thomas (died 2016), Thenny and George (died 2012). Nora died in 2017 and Arris died in 1994. They had another child, Hope. I am not certain of her birth date but I think it is 1947....

It all hit him at once.....He would have to pick up a couple extra hours at his Grocery store bagging job to afford his family and buy a house.
