Birdie and a Cocker Spaniel1325 viewsTaken at 140 Dowsett Avenue (I recognise the green tile). The inevitable dog. And a wonderful retro television set.Jul 08, 2005

Orchids1044 viewsI've always loved orchids. Here I am, in the dirt at Dowsett Avenue, surrounded by orchids. Circa 1950.Jul 08, 2005

Pushing A Lawn Mower1060 viewsThe 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.Jul 08, 2005
|
|
The Family937 viewsMy mother, father, and grandparents Nana and Baba, at 140 Dowsett Avenue. I am guessing that this is circa 1948.Jul 08, 2005

Christmas at 140 Dowsett Avenue, 1950981 viewsMy father (cigarette in hand) calling me on my toy telephone. Mother looks on, as does a gentleman I don't recognise --- cocktail in hand. Jul 08, 2005

|
Me And My Train Set3722 viewsI had a special table for my train set, and, from the look on my face, I was none too pleased with something.Jul 08, 2005

Baba at the Elks Club, Waikiki Beach2398 viewsBaba (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.Jul 08, 2005

|
Baba at the Elks Club1104 viewsCirca 1964 or 1965 --- needing new eyeglasses.Jul 08, 2005

|
Me and a Scary Lady on a Throne1417 viewsI 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.Jul 08, 2005
|
|
Birdie, Nana, and My Mother1429 viewsOn 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.Jul 08, 2005
|
|
The Comfort Station6283 viewsThe 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."Jul 08, 2005

My Second Birthday942 viewsI figured this was my second birthday (1951) -- spot the clue.Jul 08, 2005
