Description

Hi, Ken here. Dave asked why I haven't posted lately. I said it was because I'm too busy cleaning my house after the kids finally moved out. I have the whole place to myself now. He said I have a camera, so take a picture of something neat and post it under Photos. That gave me the idea of using my new flatbed scanner and I tried to make a collage of Mom, Dave and Me. I'm new with this paint program, so no fancy boarders. It was all I could do to figure how to paste the pictures together. So, here goes: My Family Album. The pics down the left side (the good looking kid) are of me and the right side is Dave. Yes, he still drools a lot. Mom said he always looked like a parked car with the doors open. He-he-he-he (He finally grew into his ears) I was always so proud of my Mother, Elnor (AKA: SilkyLady) On Parent day at school, when the other kids mothers came wearing an old frumpy house dress and curlers, She looked like a movie star. Of course, I might be biased? So, here are some pictures of us when we all was much younger. This weekend I'll try that Bryce again. Wish me luck! A wonderful day and a great weekend blessing to all of you! Ken Ps. My father never liked his picture taken, so I don't have any good ones of him. He passed away about 12 years ago.

Ken these pictures must have been taken around 1952 / 54 with an 8 mm Kodak square box camera. All there was at the time I believe. I like the tone of these era pictures. So you got the looks and Dave got the left overs. I dig that pic of him in the upper right corner he looks like he was a prankster even at this early age. Yes your mother looks like a very classy lady. Thanks for the peak into your family history! George ! ((::))

Yep, You got moms looks and I got her brains. But she was the lucky one, cause she has both. I love all these pictures except that last one of me. Jeeze I looked like a dork. No wonder I attracted Bullies by the droves. That was my 9th grade picture. I fit my ears by my senior year and gave you a run for the money with the girls.. Remember.. hehehe. I couldn't believe (at the time) that you bought and owned your own new car 6 months before you where old enough to drive. You were always a hard worker and great at handling money. Also, for your information, I don't drool anymore! Unless she's a real hottie! hehehe. Well, excellent posting dear Bro.. can't wait for mom to see it.. Later... Dave :^) V

Thank-you all for your time and comments in the memories of our family. I had many comments about my homepage picture and how beautiful my mother is so I wanted to share this picture of her befor I remove her picture, at her request, from my homepage to make it more personal! Mothers are like that! Yes they are! Dave!! Yes I remember all to well! You were 15 yrs. old and I was 12 yrs. young and I lost my first girl friend to you that day but also got my first pubic hair!!:-))) ~THANKS TO ALL~

It was great to see the family album. Your Mom is still a beauty! I can see why you are so proud. ps: I'm watching Dave more closely now - to see if he still drools! Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures.

You look alright. You were PROUD of your mother? Now that's an understatement! My mom looked nice, and lots of ladies did in those days, but I have to admit, Yours beats everyone. Thank goodness she didn't go to Hollywood and stayed and looked after you. This picture almost brought tears to my eyes, and I'm a guy! You are such a lucky sob! (So am I - my mom never made it to Hollywood either. She would have, though. And so would yours!)
