Newleyweds - 1948431 viewsMy father and mother, shortly after they arrived in Hawaii -- having been married in Nevada on their drive across the country from Boston. I love the cigarette in the hand.Jul 08, 2005

Nana Reading A Magazine400 viewsI am guessing that Baba took this photograph. I must have inherited this trait from him: I love annoying Marjorie by taking her photograph in bed, when she's trying to read or relax.Jul 08, 2005

Family Gathering at 1080 Makaiwa Street590 viewsNana, Birdie, my father, Mum (Lily Wyser Wilkinson), my mother and young Shauna. I would guess this is 1956 or so, photographed in the living room at 1080 Makaiwa Street in Kahala. Jul 08, 2005

Mother (on right) Showing Tahitian Shell Necklace to A Lady1320 viewsI have no idea who the other lady is, or why mother was showing her a shell necklace. Date unknown -- probably early 1960's.Jul 08, 2005

Shoe Shine Boy872 viewsBaba (my maternal grandfather) loved to build make-believe forts for me, using rope and blankets. Here I am with a fort, but I seem to be preoccupied with the shining of shoes. I think the radio (is that what it is?) in the background is amazing.Jul 08, 2005

Shauna and the Shoji Lamp346 viewsPhotographed at the front door of 1080 Makaiwa Street, circa 1956.Jul 08, 2005

Honolulu Airport361 viewsI can only guess at the date of this photograph -- late 1950's or early 1960's. The old Honolulu Airport terminal is behind the PanAm airplane. I love the PanAm attendants doing things at the gate itself. No air bridges. My father with Nana: not sure who's going where.Jul 08, 2005

Nana, Baba, and Me308 viewsThe thing I like best about this photograph, taken circa 1956, are our bare feet. I zoomed in on them with Photoshop, and they're pretty well worn. No wearing of house slippers for us --- bare feet!Jul 08, 2005

Mother Looking Pleased381 viewsI think this was taken at Honolulu Airport. Note the luggage and my little travelling blazer: in those days we dressed up to take an airplane somewhere. I was already taking photographs: note the camera. I'd obviously done something to make my mother happy, since she has such a Happy Face. Not!Jul 08, 2005

Mother, Mum (Lily Wyser Wilkinson), and Shauan673 viewsPhotographed at 1080 Makaiwa Street. Mum was my great-grandmother: Lily Wyser Wilkinson. We've been able to trace her family tree: this information is on our other website. My sister, Shauna, was born on Mum's birthday -- April 5. I would guess this is circa 1956.Jul 08, 2005

Lake Shasta?456 viewsI don't know why I think this is Lake Shasta. I've never been to Lake Shasta. It's Nana on the right, and could be Mum (Baba's mother, Lily Wyser Wilkinson) in the middle. Don't know who it is on the left, or the year.Jul 08, 2005

Nana, Baba, and the Silversword1047 viewsThe only thing I know about this photograph of Nana and Baba is that it was taken at the top of Haleakala on Maui: that's the only place where silversword grows. There are other pictures in the same series featuring people I don't know. All seem to have the same logo on their caps. I tried zooming in on it, but couldn't make out what it was. Circa 1947 or so.Jul 08, 2005
