auw, you had matching purses!! :D
My mother had glasses like that all through my childhood. Then she got the big 80's glasses with multicoloured frames. She still has those.

This is a fantastic thread.
I just have a few childhood pics here but I'll scan one or two when I get to the office next week!!
Mine will have to wait until we get back to Ohio, if the thread's still going on. I'm loving this thread! :)
Here I am holding baby sister Trek420. Isn't she cute? And I've finally got glasses by this time, so I can actually see her. Trek looks to be about 1 in this picture, which means I must be 8. I didn't have a bike yet then. That was a year later. A green Schwinn that I had til I let my flatmate at college use it for summer session when I took off to Norway at age 20. The bike got stolen that summer.
Me and my sis - in our matching Danskin stretch clothes (I'm the one with the guitar)
Here are three of me. As a baby, sporting a shiner that my brother gave me, and with my three brothers on vacation
I am enjoying seeing everyone's pictures. I have always liked to look at pictures. There is so much history/many stories behind each. I guess I am pretty sentimental
Hey wackyjacky1
You were not the only ones who had to wear white gloves............yuck!!! :cool:
That's me with my Mum, in Regents Park, London around 1952..................yikes, that's a while back.
It's a great thead, love seeing all the different photos.
BTW, I have not used a scanner, I used my digital camera and took a pic of the pic and it did not come out too bad.

First picture I am about 4 maybe?, probably 1958.

Next it's 1965 and I'm 11, in NYC.
I remember when that picture was taken- I was walking to school in Greenwich Village down west 11th street with my friend Susan (she's the brunette). Susan always had nice warm clothes and gloves and tights.... i had bare head, neck, hands, a too-thin coat, the wind was blowing up my bare legs and I was freezing my a** off!

I remember trying to stop shivering and smile while Susan's father took the photo that November morning, having us pose on some stranger's stoop. He took FOREVER. :rolleyes:
I did occasionally used to get some pretty good hand me down clothes from Susan though. ;)
Here are 2 of me, umbrella photo was the spring I was 3. The other is of my one-room schoolmates. I was in first grade along with Jimmy the boy in the bib overalls in the front row. I'm to Jimmy's left. We were dressed up for the picture, notice how everyone (except my brother, in the middle row) has their shirt buttoned right to the top.

I can't believe I'm posting these, but here I am at about 2 years old on the left, and 1 year old (with my 4-year-old sister) in 1958 sitting in my grandpa's favorite chair.

This is my favorite picture of me ever. Someone else's brother had the same hat, above, which reminded me. :)
