Popular Post Road Runner Posted June 18, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 18, 2018 I was looking at my vast array of old pics on this Sunday afternoon, and it occurred to me that it might be fun to post pics of ourselves from long ago. I'll start. Here is a pic of me on the slopes with some snow bunny I happened upon. Circa early 80's. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shootingstar Posted June 18, 2018 Popular Post Share #10 Posted June 18, 2018 Not that old, I think I was around 35 yrs. 2nd one is highly valuable. It is the only photo of my mother in Canada in cheongsam dress and her lst baby --me. Given the spirit, it is heirloom...and I'm still cycling folks, it's only 21st century now. WE lived in a town of 1,000 people in southern Ontario. The other Asians in community were my great uncle and aunt who sponsored my father to immigrate. They had at that time 5 children (before it totalled to 7 children.) My cousin was most likely the first French language teacher of Asian descent in the primary school system in her southern Ontario county. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MickinMD ★ Posted June 18, 2018 Popular Post Share #13 Posted June 18, 2018 I have so many old photos that need to be scanned and VHS videos that need to be digitized (I have a refurbished Magnavox DVD and VHS player recorder that does a great job converting VHS to DVD - which can then be saved as a digital file with freebie ripping software. I also have a nice 11" x 14" flatbed scanner. Maybe that will be a summer project. A cousin just sent me this photo which is my mother holding my cousin Phyllis (who went on to become VP of a large pharma company then mayor of a small NJ town) with me on the right, almost surely 4 years-old (based on Phyllis's tiny size) probably around Christmas 1954. I snapped a quick phone camera shot of the photograph in order to put it here and got most of it: The oldest other digital one I have as a jpg is of my father in the hat and me at Wild Bill Hickock's and Calamity Jane's graves (at left) at Deadwood, SD when I was 40 in July, 1991. It was a great trip. We knew my dad was dying of cancer, felt ok in the Summer of '91 and we decided he and I would spend two weeks exploring South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana including the Badlands National Park, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Bear Butte State Park (where we witnessed Native American Great Spirit rituals), Custer State Park (Buffalo!), Fort Meade (7th Cavalry Home), the Mammotb Site, Deadwood, the Broken Boot Gold Mine in Lead, SD, Devil's Tower, Little Bighorn Battlefield, and Yellowstone National Park. We stumbled on a Rodeo in Sheridan, Wyoming - the first we'd ever seen. Dad was up for it all, experienced it all, and had no problems with health: the cemetery below is up on a hill. He died the following April! Those are buffalo behind him in the close-up. If you look at the picture with the wild burro (who was begging for more of the crackers we fed him), you'll see his left hand only has a thumb and index finger. The rest was lost near Anzio, in 1944, as a platoon sergeant in Darby's Rangers. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tizeye Posted June 18, 2018 Popular Post Share #14 Posted June 18, 2018 Probably should have posted this yesterday for Father's Day. Didn't realize I was in the truck until I cleaned up an old B&W. Based on season, was about 3 (or 4 in July) , and dad would have died a few months later in November. Might be a year earlier, 2 turning 3, but don't think so. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
