Birdie, Nana, and My Mother704 mol gekuckt ginnOn 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 mol gekuckt ginnI 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 Club, Waikiki Beach1628 mol gekuckt ginnBaba (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.

Pushing A Lawn Mower420 mol gekuckt ginnThe 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.
