I, too, feel like I was an only child because he was gone to college by the time I was 8. He spent two years at a college here in VA, then an appointment to West Point, then the Army, then Vietnam....and he never came home. :( He died December 9, 1969.

Still, the memories are wonderful. Thanks for this thread!

Oh, I'm sorry! That really is a great picture of the two of you, in the snow cave. :)

Crankin & Karen - thank you for your good thoughts. It was a crazy time and even though I only had my brother for 16 years, the memories are wonderful.

BTW - I don't think we have had enough snow for a snow cave since that photo was taken! :eek:

I'm on the right.. this was Earth Day, '88 or '89? I really don't remember.. all I know is that 20 years later, that tree is HUGE.. so huge it's hard to believe we actually brought it home in the back of our minivan and planted it ourselves.

Are you ready? This one is an eye roller. My brother still has that bottle--he uses it as a change jar.

A darling photo there! :)

Look at those eyelashes!!

Karen

Oh my lord. You look like you just hatched :D And in the first picture you can see that you're really a fairy, just missing a couple of wings. Beautiful!

I'm a vodka girl now, and I grew into the eyelashes:p

Is that Jimmy Carter?

I found bike pictures!:D

I think I was around 9 when this pic was taken.

I loved this bike. I remember going with my dad to the bike shop across the street to pick it out for my 12th birthday and riding it along the Walnut Creek Trail (I think that was what it was called anyway).

My first bike! I found it early on my birthday when my brother convinced me to check out our parents' room...so glad I was introduced to riding at a young age!

Hi! In 1969 my day changed the seat and handlebars of my Sears blue bike and turned it into a Stingray!

I was so impressed that during my lunch break from school (2nd grade) I hopped on my upgraded ride in my school dress! :D

Let's see if the pic comes across....

Man, that photo SCREAMS 1969.

I think we lived in the same neighborhood ;)

I loved seeing all the fabulous pictures, OMG I am grinning from ear to ear!

Here's my contribution, who knew my sister and I would grow up to be a couple of bikerchicks? My sister is the blonde. I'll try to find our most recent photo of us on our bikes.

The bikerchicks here.
