Nana, Father, and Mother1997 mol gekuckt ginnOn the beach at Kaneohe -- my guess is 1948, shortly after my parents were married (in Nevada) and arrived in Hawaii to live. My father looks suitably "white," and there's no sign of me yet, hence my guess as to the date.

Baba at the Elks Club, Waikiki Beach1950 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.

In Bed at 140 Dowsett Avenue1921 mol gekuckt ginnMe (on the left), Shauna (the baby), and Nana. My guess is late 1955. This isn't the best photograph -- no faces showing. I've included it anyway because I thought the bedside table is interesting. I love the old dial telephone, the 1950's shoji lamps. But my favourite thing is the bottle of lager and cigarettes. I never remember my grandmother drinking --- but larger! How images can be shattered through the magnification power of Adobe Photoshop.

Marjorie 1 At Starbucks in South Australia1853 mol gekuckt ginnCathy wrote, "Did my daughterly duty yesterday and took Mother to Colonades which is near where she lives, I think I did some 120 kms just doing that. We had coffee at Starbucks, the first one opened in South Australia and it has to be miles from where I live, oh well just need to wait until they open more nearer me."

On The Lanai at 1080 Makaiwa Street1749 mol gekuckt ginnI think this is around 1964 or 1965. On the screened lanai at 1080 Makaiwa Street: Shauna, our mother (reclining), me, and one of Shauna's friends. The usual assortment of dogs: two on my lap, and one on the window ledge.

Here we are on campus: Emily Walsh (my aunt, married to my father's brother Dinny), "Ma" (my maternal grandmother), and me. I look tremendously happy.

Me Outside of My Freshman Dorm - Rensselaer 19661622 mol gekuckt ginnI spent my freshman year in Warren Hall --- quite posh because it had private, ensuite bathrooms. I recall that my room was on the 2nd floor, so I don't know why I look like a peeping Tom in this photograph.
