260701 Memories and pictures covering 81 years.

This post has pictures from this week back to 1945. This one's me sitting on the back deck and having a cold beer, early nineties.
There's a whole lot of memories in this post.

I took this picture from the front porch on the farm back in the late 1980s

This picture is only a week old.It's a close up with my camera's telephoto setting. I took it from my bedroom window. The picture is the back side of t he old folks home currently finishing covstruction. I've been watching that place since the first pile of lumber was placed on the property.

This picture was taken from the back fenceline on the farm. I always thought it was a beautiful view to see,

We frequently had turkeys roaming along the back porch on the farm. In the spring when the hens had their baby chicks the mothers would parade by the porch to show off their new brood.

This picture was taken in 1966 in Olongapo P.I. It's me on the left, Hal Brown in the center and Rick Gold on the right side. Teenage kids would come into the bar and take the picture and then it was back in less then 15 minutes. I forgot what it cost, but today it's worth a lot to me.

I remember this picture well. Joyce and her mother went to play bingo once a week. On this occasion Joyce hit a big payout, several hundred dollars.

This picture is my father in Germany in 1945. I think he was a handsome man back then.

This is a picture of our flight crew in front of our aircraft back around 1965. I am the second from left in the back row.
