Mom And Whit, Late November 1964

This was only a couple of weeks after Whit was born.

Not A Flattering Picture Of Grandmother Spurgeon

We Were Young Once

NHS Class Of 1987 10-Year Reunion… photos I believe from Julie Johnson’s camera.

Down The Street From The Kiehls

This was briefly my mother’s house when she lived in Elizabethtown, PA, from about 1989 to 1992 or thereabouts. It was a nice house and certainly a nice-looking place, but it suffered the way a lot of suburban houses do in that you naturally only ever used about 15 percent of it.

We Were Never Quite As Funny As We Thought We Were

This is a photo from the early 1980s that stuck around on bulletin boards and the like forever — we thought this kind of thing was really funny.

Washington and Lee Football Tickets, 1951

From my father’s one and only year at Washington and Lee. At first I thought they were from my senior year when we played Davidson, and the comment before I noticed the date and changed it was about how stylish-looking our tickets were.

Tom Spurgeon, Ryder McNeal

I don’t know if I’m spelling Ryder’s name correctly. This is 1983 or 1984, and we’re on the pier at Camp Crosley in North Webster, Indiana. I’m wearing a Wheel Bar t-shirt — my grandparents’ favorite bar in Estes Park, Colorado.

Notecards From Ethan Dixon 03

Yet another notecard from Ethan Dixon, passed to me during a debate round.

Whit And The Cousins

That’s Whit in the chair and Mitch White on the floor, and probably Barbara lying down. I think they’re at Jane’s house in New Jersey, probably 1985 or 1986.

Sunny McFarren, Phil McFarren

Mom and husband #2, I think 1988 or 1989.
