Interesting timing on this thread. I'm visiting with my folks this week and wanted to scan a couple of pictures of me & a longtime friend. I scanned a few more as well for other reasons. And I did find this one of me on a bicycle (flip flops, suicide brakes...):

And here's a glamour shot. I don't think I've looked this good since. I now have to pay for that blonde hair.

OK, finally getting around to this. Since I can't figure out how to put the text under the photos (it's just been an hour project for us to scan them, as something was not working), here's the info.
The one with binoculars: I was 4 and it's in front of Plymouth Rock. Yes, it's just a rock encased in a gate. 1957
The one with me and my 2 friends at the skating rink is on my 8th birthday. i was heavily into skating, lessons, etc 1962
Then, there's a picture of me and my boyfriend, where I am in a long dress. God, how did I get my hair that straight? That's in my junior year of HS, 1970, at my sorority formal on the Queen Elizabeth in Ft.Lauderdale. Well, it was really a Jewish youth group (BBYO), but in the south it became sorority-like.
The one with me in the fancy dress and white gloves is in 1966. I was going to someone's Bar Mitzvah party. I loved that dress. My dad bought it for me on a business trip to Dallas, at Neiman Marcus (they weren't in the east back then).
Then, there's one of me in 8th grade, looking very modish, with my grandparents and my brother who was 3 in the background. 1967.

The white dress.
The gloves.
Gramma's coat!
The goofy brother!

Wow.

I kinda like G-Ma's coat

Actually, I think it was a Maremekko dress, which was a popular "artsy" brand that was sold in Harvard Square.
The white dress had a pink part on the top. It's just hard to see. I wore that dress to my senior prom, too.

Too fun. These are a couple I had scanned for my older sister's xmas present a couple years back. The first one is about 6th grade, I believe that was last day of school.

Number two is 7 or 8th grade (around 78 or 79). All my fillings showing!

And last, I have no idea -- I must be about 7 or 8 here - -I don't remember the trip.

Hm, JesVetMed you haven't changed a bit!

and Crankin, looks like you hated getting your picture taken.

**bmccasland** · 02-14-2009, 05:36 AM

Here's one of me, dated 1964, while we lived in France, although you can't tell by the photo. Not sure what I was studying so intently...

Hey Mimi, another woman, non-cycling for another all-women forum that I belong to, saw your childhood photo.

She nearly freaked because she also has a photo of herself and sis on 2 separate bikes in Wildwood NJ.

And, just as you did a painting of Obama, she recently sold her handmade soaps, of which 1 of the designs is Obama's face.

She lives in New Mexico, raises goats, sells her own line of handmade soaps. I don't know her personally.

This is the oldest picture I can find of me right now. I need to do some scanning.

**Mr. Bloom** · 02-20-2009, 05:04 AM

Yes, that's me too!

Someone just sent my 8th grade class picture to me! Oh MY! Were we groovy or what?!?!?!?!

I remember every name except one...I'm the one in the baby blue three piece suit near the center

**singletrackmind** · 02-20-2009, 05:30 AM

1968

Was there a big sale on pink suits that year?

All those 2 mile wide lapels....OH the HORROR!!!!!

**crazycanuck** · 02-23-2009, 12:27 AM

Umm Silver, your photo reminded me of Molly Ringwald..

Oh lord, that photo is a classic! Nothing like late 70s meets early puberty

I love the handsome-dudes in the back row, nr. 4 from left and farthest right. And the shell-shocked one farthest left in the next row

I'm guessing he was friends with the Bill Gates lookalike 2nd from left in the front row. And look at the rebel in the denim jacket standing next to you! And those strappy sandals on the girl in the red dress in the front row... ooooh. Just beautiful.

(quick hijack)...
Hey LPH, how are you doing? Do you still look all beat up like your avatar? I cringe every time I see it.
