Around 1952. I think mom took this photo cause I was pouting. A friend colorized it later. I wore bib overalls until about 5th grade.

Around 1960. My father dug this pond with his 1922 John Deere tractor. He needed the dirt for fill around the house foundation. He built this raft for me using small barrels. I enjoyed poling around the pond with my collie Taffy. Good times growing up in the country.

It was 1964 and I was 14 years old. My Kodak Instamatic camera with the flash cubes was being returned to Shopko for a non-functioning flash. So, my mom had her “I mean business” look on. The clerk tried the camera, and the flash worked. This photo was the result. My mom was very mad at that camera.
