Mother and Me at Waikiki Beachvu 508 foisI don't ever remember going to the beach with my mother, but it must have happened because here's the photographic proof. Circa 1956.

My Second Birthdayvu 425 foisI figured this was my second birthday (1951) -- spot the clue.

|

The Comfort Stationvu 5734 foisThe location and date of this photograph are unknown, but I'm guessing it's not Hawaii. My grandfather, Baba, with my aunt Birdie outside the "comfort station."

|

Birdie, Nana, and My Mothervu 958 foisOn the beach at Kaneohe. No signs of kids in the photo, so I would say this is 1948. The lush Kodachrome look to this photograph reminds me of 1950's Hawaii.

Me and a Scary Lady on a Thronevu 900 foisI have no idea who this lady is, why she's sitting on a throne, and why I look so unhappy. The photo has a Christmas look --- perhaps sending letters to Santa? But the lady is a tad scary.

Baba at the Elks Clubvu 614 foisCirca 1964 or 1965 --- needing new eyeglasses.
|
|

Baba at the Elks Club, Waikiki Beachvu 1759 foisBaba (circa 1964 or 1965) checking out the Waikiki shoreline from the Elks Club. I don't ever remember him going to Elks meetings: I think he just joined because the club has a great location on the beach.

|

Me And My Train Setvu 3190 foisI had a special table for my train set, and, from the look on my face, I was none too pleased with something.

|

Christmas at 140 Dowsett Avenue, 1950vu 447 foisMy father (cigarette in hand) calling me on my toy telephone. Mother looks on, as does a gentleman I don't recognise --- cocktail in hand.
|
|

The Familyvu 461 foisMy mother, father, and grandparents Nana and Baba, at 140 Dowsett Avenue. I am guessing that this is circa 1948.
|
|

Pushing A Lawn Mowervu 529 foisThe Health and Safety people would be thrilled to see me pushing what appears to be a gas-operated lawn mower --- with no shoes. Makes my toes curl even now, over half a century later.
|
|

Orchidsvu 483 foisI've always loved orchids. Here I am, in the dirt at Dowsett Avenue, surrounded by orchids. Circa 1950.
