that little red chair


this was taken sometime in 1957 so i was around 2 1/2 years old. i am sitting in the little red rocking chair which my grandfather made for me. i have kept it all these years and it is now there for hayden to sit in.

yet another part of the park gone

this is mom sitting on that vibrating chair in the entrance que at the old country bear jamboree. sadly, this ride has departed and has been replaced by the many adventures of winnie the poo. that's not a bad dark ride, just misplaced.

no longer can we hear big al sing blood on the saddle or watch swinging teddy bear-a come down from the ceiling.

at the end of my bachelorhood



these were taken sometime in mid 1976 at the little 1 bedroom duplex i lived at just off miracle mile and grant. just a bedroom w/ a 3/4 bath; small kitchen and a small room where i had a chair.




this was a fun time in my life really. i wish i had more from this period to share with you. i had a lot of energy and dreams then. I was going to school,still diving and had just met who would be my first wife. a period of fun and being as happy as i have ever been in my life. i still crack up when i see my hair then. very funny stuff.
