Mother and Me at Waikiki Beach390 katseluaI don't ever remember going to the beach with my mother, but it must have happened because here's the photographic proof. Circa 1956.
|
|
My Second Birthday334 katseluaI figured this was my second birthday (1951) -- spot the clue.
|
|
The Comfort Station5539 katseluaThe location and date of this photograph are unknown, but I'm guessing it's not Hawaii. My grandfather, Baba, with my aunt Birdie outside the "comfort station."

|
Birdie, Nana, and My Mother704 katseluaOn the beach at Kaneohe. No signs of kids in the photo, so I would say this is 1948. The lush Kodachrome look to this photograph reminds me of 1950's Hawaii.

|
Me and a Scary Lady on a Throne678 katseluaI have no idea who this lady is, why she's sitting on a throne, and why I look so unhappy. The photo has a Christmas look --- perhaps sending letters to Santa? But the lady is a tad scary.
|
|
Baba at the Elks Club367 katseluaCirca 1964 or 1965 --- needing new eyeglasses.
|
|
Baba at the Elks Club, Waikiki Beach1628 katseluaBaba (circa 1964 or 1965) checking out the Waikiki shoreline from the Elks Club. I don't ever remember him going to Elks meetings: I think he just joined because the club has a great location on the beach.
|
|
Me And My Train Set3067 katseluaI had a special table for my train set, and, from the look on my face, I was none too pleased with something.
|
|
Christmas at 140 Dowsett Avenue, 1950332 katseluaMy father (cigarette in hand) calling me on my toy telephone. Mother looks on, as does a gentleman I don't recognise --- cocktail in hand.
|
|
The Family328 katseluaMy mother, father, and grandparents Nana and Baba, at 140 Dowsett Avenue. I am guessing that this is circa 1948.
|
|
Pushing A Lawn Mower420 katseluaThe Health and Safety people would be thrilled to see me pushing what appears to be a gas-operated lawn mower --- with no shoes. Makes my toes curl even now, over half a century later.
|
|
Orchids308 katseluaI've always loved orchids. Here I am, in the dirt at Dowsett Avenue, surrounded by orchids. Circa 1950.
