My
father, Earl, when he was about 25 years old. He
had me compare this photo to his father's photo
when my grandfather was his age.
Wow, they look alike!!! |
Earl
the political dude,
when he ran for Mayor, circa 1974 or so.
Nice plaid sportcoat, Pops! |

Our
family with an Israeli exchange student who lived
with us one year. Note the color of my hair. I'm
not sure it could be that white if you dyed it! |
Note
that my sister was still taller than me. Also note
my Dad's cool 1970's auto-adjusting shade lenses,
which were the rage, I am sure... |

Uncle
Tony after he crawled out of the grave on Halloween,
1998. Now I remember why Ian (left) had the nickname
of "Peanut" at one point! Look at the
size-ratio of my hand and his head!!!
Looks like I could pick Ian up like a basketball. |
My
Mom and my Grandfather Floyd at the White Swan Lake
cabin showing off the new fireplace Floyd built.
I think that is my cousin Bruce in Grandpa Floyd's
lap. This is the man who gave me the middle name
of Floyd! |

Another
wonderful exchange student who lived with us for
a year. 1977-1978 I believe. Her name was Kayori
Watanabe. I still remember how to count to 20 in
Japanese from her! |
Kayori
Watanabe. The surname Watanabe in Japan is like
"Smith" to us. Her brother "Mo"
came and stayed with us the following year and we
went to a Styx Grand Illusion Tour concert. |

Earl
and Judy on one of their first dates! Gotta love
the smoke in Earl's hand! 1964 or so... |
A
precious photo of me and my mom, which looks like
it is at Mt. Telemark Lodge. |

Our
golden retriever "Sandy," who got inadvertantly
"serviced" by Casey the Yellow Lab next
door the first time she went into heat. |

Earl
chipping away at the Berlin Wall, 1989. Teri went
with him. See one
of the chunks they gave me as a memento! |

going on. |

blonde headed little toe-head! |
