This photo is so unflattering it may be my favorite photo. Around 1997.

It’s weird how memory works. I have no recollection that I ever played cowboy, yet I remember all of these toys around in the bottom of toy trunks and places like that.

Granted, I’ve only had three.

I got this job 15 years ago last month.

The Oddest Picture I’ve Seen This Year

I don’t really know what’s going on here, but I like the idea of a newspaper running a giant article of ladies scolding people.

This is him in 1945 (top) and 1944 (bottom) at the Wawasee and Syracuse train stations in northern Indiana.

I don’t remember the article, but I do remember getting that photo taken. The idea was that it was two families from different sides of town, both with a living patriarch/matriarch. This must have been about 1979-1981.
