Me

Franny's latest post took me back to my childhood so I started looking at the old photos. Just thought I'd share a few with you.


Here I am (in middle) at San Luis Obispo in Sept '58 with my beloved hula hoop that just came into fashion. My younger sister Jackie and older sister Robin are with me.


This is Halloween 1958 - I was a gypsy and Jackie was an inmate from Alcatraz. She was the hit of the night wearing my Dad's soccer shirt and the hat he got in San Fran as a souvenir.


I grew a LOT in 6th grade, all the way to 5'6" (look at those legs!). Here I am fishing with my sister Jackie and cousin John. (I have no idea who the other girl is)

My sister Robin and I thought we were gorgeous in our new bathing suits! And I was happy I'd grown taller than her. I think I'm almost 15 here and sis is 18.

  4. And, you and your sister did look gorgeous as bathing beauties. Great pictures. And you got to go to California in 1958. I didn't get there until '61. But, since I was 18 and staying with a good friend, I got to have an 'American Graffiti' summer, complete with hotrods and fantasy babes in white T-Birds. You take me back.

  5. Hi Ian, you probably had a LOT more fun than I did - I was with my parents! You were FREE to roam.
