Before I was around

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on November 8, 2005). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Last time I went up to visit my folks in Anchorage, I snagged some old family photos. I’m (finally) starting to get some of them scanned in.

First up: four photos of my Aunt Kay. I never met Kay, as she died long before I was born. However, I’ve been told on a few occasions that she and I are very much alike. While I’m sure I’d seen pictures of her before, I didn’t remember any of them before I found these while digging through the stacks of pictures at mom and dad’s house.

From left to right: Kay sometime in 1960; Kay in a kilt sometime in 1961 (possibly at the University of Iowa, according to the handwritten note on the back of the photo); Kay and her date for Senior Prom sometime in 1961; Mom and Kay dressed up for Kay’s High School graduation in 1961.

Lastly, Mom pinning Dad’s wings on after his promotion to 2nd Lieutenant in 1968.

  1. Thanks, Mike. Isn’t your mum a beautiful woman??!!!

    I remember an incident when you were about two. Berta and I were going somewhere [I don’t remember, and it is not important] where we both had to be dressed to the nines. You came into our room to see us off, and declared, “Mommy’s pree-shee!”

    I’ve always felt that way, and I do so now.
