This is sooooo much fun and I am hoping that you are enjoying it as much as I am putting it together. You can't image the memories that each one of these pictures bring. Most of them are wonderful, but there are some sad memories mixed in.

Do you kids remember gluing all of the feathers on the sweat suit to make this costume? How it shrunk when the glue dried so we made a frame thing to put it over so that it wouldn't shrink any further? Talk about itching!! hehee Just try and walk with swim fins on too and go up stairs with them. The people involved with the TV program "Let's Make a Deal" had to help me up the five steps to get into the studio. It was a riot! But I WON! They folded my beak back so that I wouldn't poke anyone's eyes out! Dad took this off the tv. |

This is a picture of the rabbits that Sonny and Freddy had behind the "tiny" house by the folk's first restaurant in California. I don't have a clue if they had them to sell for food or just for pets. All I know is that I won't eat rabbit....those cute little nose and eyes. It is almost like eating flipper! |

I "think" this is a picture
of Freddie's 32 Ford that he had. It was the five window coup
version and so NEAT! I noticed that it was in the picture of Sonny
and his airplane so I did some cropping! <smile> Below
is Fred's explanation of the car.
"That is Charlie's
souped up 38 Chevy. I drove it one time and that was enough for
me. I thought Florida Avenue was a race track and couldn't hold it
back. He had it painted by the people that were painting a Chevron
gas station on West Florida Ave. He just stopped there while they
were spraying the station and said paint my car too. They just
turned around and complied. All he had to do was scrape the paint
off the windows and drive away. "Drive thru paint shop -
they missed a good bet". Looks like a Studebaker in the
background."

Our tiny "grandpa-grandma home during winter of 2002. Oh, how we love our place. Our home, our land, our view, well, just about everything about it! |

Bringing back memories from the late 40's is this picture of my brother's Sonny and Freddy during a scout meeting. Sonny carved a patrol flag pole that I have now along with the flag that hung on it. The pole is about 5 ft tall and has different carvings that are images of things that they use in their troop. Sonny is right behind that candle being passed and Freddie is on the right in back cocking his head with the other candles in front of him. They met in the First Congregational Church on Concord Rd. in Sudbury. | |
