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!!!

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.
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.

Sorry about that, much nashing of teeth later I finally got the original scans re-sized. Here you go. Thanks for the headsup wackyjacky. First one, 1950; classroom, 1953.

Wow, great classroom picture. Back in the days of real wood floors, real leather shoes and real blue jeans. Ahhh...I remember it well!

I noticed the flag has 48 stars- in 1959 they added Alaska and Hawaii and had to change the star pattern on the flag.

Excellent idea, will give that a go!!!!

[Cataboo]

This is a sequence of me & my older sister. My dad used to take forever to get set up to take a picture, which generally meant we were all grumpy looking by the time the picture got taken... As you can see, I didn't really have the patience for the picture taking





Since we were talking about unruly hair in another thread:

[salsabike]

Oh God, I LOVE the face in the second picture. That's a hoot.
