Nana, Baba, and the Silversword1918 x angesehenThe 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.

Nana and Me1754 x angesehenNana and me. I look thrilled to bits to be photographed. She's keeping the evil eye on me. This was taken at our new house (then) at 1080 Makaiwa Street in Honolulu, I would guess in 1956.

Sharpshooter Craig - Thanksgiving 19661727 x angesehenMy uncle Dinny had a .22 rifle that he could barely use. When we went for our mandatory outdoor walk on Thansgiving, he brought his rife --- and asked me to have a go. What he didn't know is that I'd had three years of ROTC in high school, and was a reasonably accomplished marksman. I don't think I've handled a rifle since this photograph was taken 42 years ago.

Shoe Shine Boy1565 x angesehenBaba (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.

Christmas at 1080 Makaiwa Street1456 x angesehenThis looks like one of those self-timer photographs, were Baba set the camera and then ran in (almost) into the frame. Baba (on his knees), me, my mother, Nana, Bappy, Neil Moore, and my aunt Birdie. Photographed at 1080 Makaiwa Street, circa 1956.

An Afternoon in the Countryside - New Hampshire, 19661370 x angesehenOn Thanksgiving of my freshman year at Rensselaer, my parents came to visit me on the East Coast. We all went to see my father's brother (and my uncle) Dinny Walsh. Here we are --- not exactly looking comfortable in the countryside. Dinny, me, Shauna, and my mother with a New England barn in the background.
