Since posting the "photo booth" photo of my Mom at about 12 in 1930 last week, I came across two others this week. This first one is of my younger brother, Jimmie, and I (Mom called me Billie for many years). This is probably 1945.
The second is of my Dad, at about age 21, which would have been in 1936... he and Mom started dating in late summer of that year...

This Blog focuses on Ancestor Stories, both the stories themselves about my family’s ancestors and discussions of where they come from and how to prepare and share them. These stories may be non-fiction or fiction – we will always tell which is which, of course. Also see my KINNICK blog and The HOMEPLACE Series Blog, left sidebar, scroll down.

Dr. Bill, I love the facial expressions in the photo booth picture. That is adorable! You certainly resemble your father. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteO Bill, what a sly smile you had! Wonder what you were thinking? Very cute.
ReplyDeleteYour dad was hot! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look like your Dad! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery true...a remarkable family resemblance. You take me back to my childhood with those photo booths and the strips of 4 or 5 little snapshots.
ReplyDeleteThank you each for your comments. These little photos are fun, aren't they! We'd really like to know who and what they were looking at, of course!

I agree...these photos are fun. And what really was going on at the time. I think these are what creative writing courses are made of.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting a smile on my face!
Bill ... I can almost smell the 'rotten eggs' that one had to endure after the photos came out of the photo booths! What a lovely post - you took me back to my childhood. Terrific! Keep them coming ... Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteCindy,
