Port Sheldon 1954

Pictures by AK. Now this is my own personal hang-up, but I have a great deal of difficulty with pictures of Chris this small. As my big brother, Chris should always be, well, BIGGER! This Max-sized package does not compute. Also, who are these ridiculously young and skinny people posing as his parents? They still have that newlywed aura about them... Happy Anniversary (June 14) Mom & Dad!

Puppy Attack!

Puppies through the decades give Dad the big smooch. Since I can't be in River Falls for Father's Day, consider this post a virtual hug.

Brownie - 1940s


Fritz - 1962 (Back when Dad smoked a pipe!)


Bridget - 1965

More Bridget

Mickey - 1977

For fans of old photos here's a fun blog-- Shorpy: The 100-Year-Old Photo Blog.

A Boy and His Dog

These photos were taken by AK in 1958. What a little boy and what a teeny-tiny dog!

Trucks

Mom was reminiscing recently about little boy fascination with watching construction projects with big noisy trucks and 'dozers. Here is Chris with some toy versions. The first is Christmas 1955. The second is from 1959.

Happy Birthday Chris!

Here are a couple of photos from 1955 taken by AK. Happy Birthday Big Brother!

Martha & Mom

I meant to post these back in May, the month of Martha and Mothers. These were taken by AK in summer of 1959.
