And in its very first Internet debut, my wedding photo, age 25 in 1984.

Cute pics y'all.

Here's my favorite pic of my momma and me taken in the summer of 1958 (please pardon the glare).

I sure do miss her.

Am now about half way through the pics my 92yr old aunt sent to me, and came across some tiny snapshots of our wedding....
It was July 1958, and necessarily a limited budget. The reception was at the Lawn Bowling Green, which was the central place for all of the English and Scotch families in our little community of Fairlawn (rental $15). Total cost about $400, including sandwiches and a 4 hour open bar. Probably about 150 friends and relatives.

Couldn't afford a photographer so my mom did the honors with her little Kodak Brownie.

Great picture! Both look like you are in your teens. Is that a cig in your left hand? Seems like everybody smoked back then.

He said 1958, so doobies were not that prevalent back in those days. More common in the late 60s.

This is of my sister, brother and I in 1953. We had that cardboard fireplace for years. I can still remember watching the artificial rotating "flame"
