for my cousin Ricky

 

This is me with my Uncle Gaddis. I am 9 months old so that would be sometime in November of 1955. The back is stamped Fowler’s Portsmouth, Ohio; Dec 30, 1955. Mom may have not had the roll developed to after Christmas that year. In the background is some unknown body shop.

What I am unsure of is if this picture was really taken in Portsmouth or if Mom and Dad took me to Jackson then had the picture developed after they returned.

Another unknown but I feel pretty sure that the dog is ‘boots’.

{Ric, any ideas as to the location of this picture? I hope you enjoy.}

with dad and boots

can you believe the smile. good times with dad and 'boots' our bulldog. photo is dated 1957 so i was 3 or 4 at this time. what cracks me up is the curtains, those are cool. we lived in this trailer for a lot of years and i remember my 'bedroom' was in the hallway, so i had no doors. ahhh yes the good life. that shirt i have on is pretty special. the horse clock behind dad is still with us in a box around here somewhere.
