This is my family - in one of my very favorite photos, back in 1968. I think we were living in Sunnyslope, Arizona, but I'm not real sure. My dad's name is Stanley. He always had a crew cut. He always cut his fingernails in church with a KNIFE! He had a cute little giggle for his laugh. These are my 2 sisters, Trudy and Carrie. My mom, which you met back in a February blog, Shirley.

Here is one of the things my dad enjoy...fishing. I think this might have been after I was married.

And finally. My most favorite picture of me and Dad DeWitt. We were sitting at a July 24th parade and we just snapped this. Luckily we got it before the firetruck came by!
Happy Father's Day....late....to both my Dads!

ReplyDeleteYou're off by 10 years on dad's age when he died. He was almost 70 years old. But I loved the post and the pictures.

ReplyDeleteOf course that's not really my ponch mom! Do you see 6 clearly demarcated abdominal muscles taking form beneath the skin-tight shirt I'm wearing?! That would have probably been more realistic around the time that picture was taken...right?!
ReplyDelete(Sigh!)
Today I might look more like that (and I probably wasn't trying too hard to ponch my ponch)
