Nana, Father, and Mothervu 2448 foisOn the beach at Kaneohe -- my guess is 1948, shortly after my parents were married (in Nevada) and arrived in Hawaii to live. My father looks suitably "white," and there's no sign of me yet, hence my guess as to the date.

Baba at the Elks Club, Waikiki Beachvu 2406 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.

Marjorie 1 At Starbucks in South Australiavu 2402 foisCathy wrote, "Did my daughterly duty yesterday and took Mother to Colonades which is near where she lives, I think I did some 120 kms just doing that. We had coffee at Starbucks, the first one opened in South Australia and it has to be miles from where I live, oh well just need to wait until they open more nearer me."

In Bed at 140 Dowsett Avenuevu 2287 foisMe (on the left), Shauna (the baby), and Nana. My guess is late 1955. This isn't the best photograph -- no faces showing. I've included it anyway because I thought the bedside table is interesting. I love the old dial telephone, the 1950's shoji lamps. But my favourite thing is the bottle of lager and cigarettes. I never remember my grandmother drinking --- but larger! How images can be shattered through the magnification power of Adobe Photoshop.

Emily, Ma, and Me - Rensselaer Campus, Thanksgiving 1966vu 2119 foisThanksgiving of my freshman year at Rensselaer --- a long way away from home in Honolulu. The family came to visit. Here we are on campus: Emily Walsh (my aunt, married to my father's brother Dinny), "Ma" (my maternal grandmother), and me. I look tremendously happy.

Nana, Baba, and the Silverswordvu 2047 foisThe only thing I know about this photograph of Nana and Baba is that it was taken at the top of Haleakala on Maui: that's the only place where silversword grows. There are other pictures in the same series featuring people I don't know. All seem to have the same logo on their caps. I tried zooming in on it, but couldn't make out what it was. Circa 1947 or so.

On The Lanai at 1080 Makaiwa Streetvu 2038 foisI think this is around 1964 or 1965. On the screened lanai at 1080 Makaiwa Street: Shauna, our mother (reclining), me, and one of Shauna's friends. The usual assortment of dogs: two on my lap, and one on the window ledge.
