This was the only photo I had, until recently, when I had taken Mom’s camera to school. That is me sitting at my desk. I think that is Nancy in dark (red) sweater standing by window behind me, talking to Doug, it appears. She was a mature class leader. I was still the newcomer… ;-)
In a later post here (next Tues and Thurs, part 2 and part 3, of 8th Grade), we’ll see more photos from that day that were in the scrapbook…
My class picture, in fall, just turned 13 on July 1. A teenager. Bill. No more Billie, Billy… ;-)
I got my slide camera the summer of 1953... much better!!
This is that following summer… with brothers… we’d all grown up quite a bit!! ;-)
Barry had arrived eighteen months earlier. Jim on left, with Tom (later to become T.K.)
I loved that bike!! ;-)
See you down the road… ;-)
