Family pictures

Deal with it, youngsters. I'm fried from staring at spreadsheets all day and I'm inflicting my misery on you. These are more stills from the family-home-movies DVD, pre-China as it were. These are various Christmas movies over the years, from roughly 1956 through roughly 1965.


My lovely Auntie, 1956.


Mom and Uncle Jack (Auntie's husband), same year.


Grandma with the Littlest Bro. This would be 1963.


Me and Littlest Bro, from 1964.


Littlest Bro. He's sitting in front of our "entertainment center": a B/W TV with AM/FM radio and record player all in one. Very avante garde for its time, even if bought used.


Me an Little Bro the Firefighter, him with his grenade launcher. That was one of the coolest toys any of us ever got.

Unfortunately, no still pictures were ripped by the conversion company of this part but perhaps I will try to rip some video later. Yes, there are video scenes of our musical instruments. The ones our family friend Shine got us boys for Christmas one year (I guess it was 1964, I had thought it was 1965):



For me a trumpet, for Little Bro the Firefighter a drum set, and for Littlest Bro a xylophone. Yes, Mom (bless her kind, forgiving heart) allowed Shine to live.
