Peter- i just wanted to say that this is one of the best themes i have seen on this site to date. normally i expect seagulls and ducks from you but you have outdone yourself here my friend. it is so nice to see the different memories from people and it really gives you that nostalgic feel. i am only sorry that i am not home in Israel right now so i can grab some of my childhood pics and scan them...

Petkal,

Forgive me for two posts but, given the Season, I just had to share this one.

This is me at age six, my younger brother at age five, and and my older sister at age eight. This was Christmas 1950 and was made at Rich's Department Store in Atlanta, GA. My brother sent this to me about ten Christmas' ago and I have treasured it ever since. So all you parents out there some day your kids will treasure their picture with Santa as I do this one

Thank you Jimmy, please keep going, that image is excellent again. The three of you resembled so much to each other ! Precious !

Thank you Snir, on occasion I have very brief relapses to relative intelligence and normalcy.

Well, I could take issue with that, but I'll stay on topic.

I agree, this is a great topic, one which requires the requisite seriousness.

Therefore, without further ado, my childhood recollection pic.

You see, I too was brought up on a farm, a farm way back up in the woods. My clothes were so ragged, folks used to call me Patches. My pappa was a great old man; I could see him with a shovel in his hand. Education he never had, and no money when the times got bad...

I used to milk these puppies so we could eat:

A fab image as well as reminescences to boot.

Nice! We go up there about 4x a year but never get shots like that in the summer...usuallly there's a low fog that obscures the mtn when we're there.

This was taken on Western Washington University campus we are a collage town but the campus has a little more meaning for my famliy my great GrandFather taught there when it was still the Normal school for girls before it became a University.

Fine associations, good landscaping photography, Mike.

You lucky dog, you. I'm not sure if it's coming for Chanukah or Christmas, or my birthday in January, which I hate to admit will be the big five-0.

I'm thinking that she got pissed that she had to divulge it to me and returned it, as I have a sneaking suspicion she got me a gift card of substantial value instead. She keeps asking me about the 300mm, by stating: "It's the 300 2.8 that you want, right?"

Time will tell.

BTW, I got the delivery confirmation that you got the ink.

These were found last October in the attic of the house I was born in. They were purchased by my father and left up there when we moved in 1960. No one ever took them and 3 other families lived in that house over the past 46 years!
