Grandpa, big brother, and me
My brother Jim took home a bunch of my father’s old slides after his visit with my Mom over the weekend, and has started scanning some of them and posting them over on Facebook. I particularly liked this one. This is me (the little guy), my brother Dwight (five years older to the day) and my Grandpa Willett (whose initials, E.C., I share). My dad obviously took the photo. I still have memories of this day in Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle–we were living in the small town of Tulia at the time, and this wasn’t too far away. This is 1965, which makes me about six.
Cute little guy, wasn’t I? Wonder what happened?
