Kauai, Spring of 1953.

Back row: Auntie Cecile, Deb, Gramma, and some dude that looks exactly like two of my younger brothers. Oh, that’s Pop. He’s about 27 years old here.

Front row: Terri, Scott, Mom, Jed, Me, Sean

Best guess: late sixties or early seventies.

From the Honolulu Bulletin, about 1962:

From my Grampa’s surprise 60th birthday party in 1976. Candid shot. Love it.

From my Grampa’s surpise 60th birthday parting in 1976. From left to right: Uncle Willie, my Dad, Grampa, Uncle Sonny, Uncle Eddie.

This photo confirms my memory: Uncle Eddie had the coolest shirt at the party that night. But Sonny’s suit had a thing or two to say about it.

btw, is it just me, or is that the Johnny Carson curtain?

From one of many dinners my four grandparents shared together back in the 60s and 70s. They swapped partners for these two particular photos. Great shots.

(Above) My maternal grandmother Margaret and my fraternal grandfather Cecil.

(Below) My maternal grandfather Gil and my fraternal grandmother Flo.

There they are. The football star, the song leader, the high school sweethearts, my parents. Just began their senior year. 1962, Honolulu.

They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

This is my old man
Circa nineteen forty-six.
Happy Father’s Day.
