The Comfort StationПросмотров: 5539The 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 MotherПросмотров: 704On 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 ThroneПросмотров: 677I 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 BeachПросмотров: 1628Baba (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.

The FamilyПросмотров: 328My mother, father, and grandparents Nana and Baba, at 140 Dowsett Avenue. I am guessing that this is circa 1948.

Pushing A Lawn MowerПросмотров: 420The 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.

OrchidsПросмотров: 308I've always loved orchids. Here I am, in the dirt at Dowsett Avenue, surrounded by orchids. Circa 1950.
