A school concert in 1960 in Penticton, B.C., Canada. Father Quinlin sits with Sister Mary Martin next to him. Beside her is Sister Mary Bridget, the school principal. That is the back of my younger Brother James talking to Father Q. My Dad took the photo.
Sister Mary Martin was my grade 5 teacher. She was older and slow but could hold down our class of 54 kids with just a "look". We always searched that hat outline for just a glance at a hair or two to make sure they were really human and if we ever saw any it was the "buzz" at recess. 
My first meeting with Father Q was when my Mom registered me for grade 1. We went to the rectory and there he was. I was 5 years old and in love. Through the years I always made sure I did not go to his cubical for confession, but if I had no choice I had a rehearsed sin list which was on the light side, because he knew my parents well and I thought he just might tell them something. Although technically that would be a sin, also, and have to be reported to another priest. Somehow that just did not matter to me. View full size.

Persian Room, Hotel Sir Francis Drake, San Francisco,  June 18th 1944, Table 6. I know all this because this is a souvenir photo taken at the Drake, the date and place is on the folder it came in. Looks like Mom & Dad out with the kids (they don't look like brothers to me), perhaps a big night out before one or both of them shipped out to for the War? View full size.

Charles M. Schulz knew what he was doing when he penned his "Peanuts" comic strip. Neighborhoods were full of little kids back in the '50s and '60s and this is just a part of our neighborhood kid population. I'm in the red, third from right and my older sister is second from right in the blue windbreaker and my other sister is in the green jacket. East Richmond Heights near San Francisco, 1966.

This photo was in a group of photographs I purchased at a flea market. The photos that were dated were over a hundred years so I would guess this was taken around the turn of the century. This one had "Mrs Dillie Taylor, Okla" written on the reverse. I find the photograph amusing because the kids look genuinely annoyed at having to sit for the camera. View full size.

Posted by ZebraMan - 12/23/2016 - 8:25pm -

My mother Macalyne, my grandmother Brownie, and my uncle George. Christmas that year meant the end of the Great Depression and the beginning of World War II -- a momentous time in our nation's history. This photo, for me, represents all the goodness and simplicity, and the uncertainty, of those days. We have come a long way since then, for better or worse.
Those two kids grew up to be perhaps the most influential speech pathologist in the world as a professor at Vanderbilt and Purdue (Mom), and a surgeon, professor, and President of the American Trauma Society (George). Fairly successful parenting by my grandparents, I'd say.

Posted by aenthal - 02/23/2018 - 7:40pm -

I apparently invited only six kids to my eighth birthday party, so my mother didn’t make us sit on the floor. These two attendees are Debbie and Darlene: the girls next door. To say we were close was a geographical reality. Though Debbie was younger than me, she was in my grade. Darlene was eleven months younger than her. Their family was Catholic, so they went to Catholic school, which I did not.
Their mother was the coolest (You can see her here) because she worked at a toy store. That meant they got all the trendy toys that my parents would not buy. Their father and my father both worked at RCA in Princeton New Jersey, so they car pooled to work together. And when the Neils did something fun, their family often included me. It was their father, Clyde, who taught me to ride a bicycle. When he taught both of them, he just added me into the group.
