Lake Shasta?766 mol gekuckt ginnI 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.

Newleyweds - 1948758 mol gekuckt ginnMy 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.

Nana Reading A Magazine747 mol gekuckt ginnI 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.

Craig in the Model Village - at 140 Dowsett Avenue735 mol gekuckt ginnPlaying in the back garden at 140 Dowsett Avenue in Nuuanu, creating my own little "model village," 1958. I can remember painting the clay pots to look like houses, and (of course) there was the obligatory running water. Didn't take long for it to turn into mud.

Pushing A Lawn Mower734 mol gekuckt ginnThe 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.

Nana, Baba, and Me725 mol gekuckt ginnThe 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!

Mother Looking Pleased722 mol gekuckt ginnI 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!

Shirley and John Walsh on the steps of Leland Powers School716 mol gekuckt ginnMy parents met at Leland Powers in Boston. I don't know if this is a school photograph or not. The mystery, at least to me, is what happened to the person above my father whose face has been scraped away? My mother Shirley is on the lowest step (left) and my father John Walsh on the same step (right). One of my mother's friends from Hawaii, Barbara (Bappy) Pickup, is sitting on the top step. Circa 1948.

Orchids711 mol gekuckt ginnI've always loved orchids. Here I am, in the dirt at Dowsett Avenue, surrounded by orchids. Circa 1950.

Mother and Me at Waikiki Beach700 mol gekuckt ginnI don't ever remember going to the beach with my mother, but it must have happened because here's the photographic proof. Circa 1956.
