Russ, one month old.

I always fancied myself as a pirate.
Hay mom, where is my dagger?

Pat, Chuck, and Russ, Christmas dinner with Daddy.
About 1953 or 54

 

Daddy reading a book to Russ,
about 5 or 6 years old.

 

 

This is my third birthday. I cherish this picture because I only have a few with my Daddy. But this is special because as you may know he had a hunting accident as a teenager and lost half of his right arm. This is the only picture I know of that shows it so plainly. He used to go to great lengths to not show it in pictures.

 

 

Christmas 1951 Muirhead's Children's Center, Dearborn Michigan
Santa, Chuck, Russ, Mom, Pat.
I was not old enough here to remember this, but it sure looks neat.
I was almost 3, Chuck ~6 1/2 and Pat, 9 years old, and Mom 32.
Of course Santa is ageless.

 

 

OK, give up it folks. You know I was the cutest.
What a bow tie, just like Soapy Williams!!!

57 Plymouth, push button trans, tail fins, Best car in the world

My first love for a car. A 57 Plymouth like Pat and Steve had. I love it. Too bad I can't find a better picture to show off. Same car as in the movie Christine. Somewhere we have a picture of both of them parked on Asbury Park. Wish I could find it.
