1966 King Frost Parade (01)
Something a bit different from all the family pics. This set of images is from the 1966 King Frost parade in Hamburg, Pennsylvania.

And this is "King Frost". Some of the images, including this one, are not of the best quality. This is partly due to the photo-shoot conditions. Dad was quite a bit away from the parade, it was dark, using a flash was of limited value, and the subject(s) were in motion. This was "in the old days", when things like the f-stop, shutter speed, and focal point all had to be set manually.

Black Album 02a
This group of photos comes from an even older album. It seems to chronicle Dad's years from about 1925 thru the 30's. High school and his single years after that. This is obviously a Hamburg High School class picture. I don't know if its his entire class or not. And I don't see him in the picture (altho he might be there), so I'm assuming he's taking the photo.

The last of this set of photos. I don't know who this little girl is, nor where the pic is taken. I'm thinking mid- to late 30's for a timeframe.
I'm about halfway thru this old photo album. I'll probably take a break from these for a bit, so look for the next set of pics to be from more modern times. A la prochaine, mes amis...

A school pic, I assume. Is that Mom in the upper left? I'm guessing Tom and/or Nancy is somewhere in this photo, but I haven't a clue where. Update : The teacher's name is Miss Clementine Cope. Anyone who wants to know the names of (most of) these kids, contact Ellen, who says she grew up with most of them. I'm impressed. When I look at my high school yearbook, I'm amazed at how many classmates I don't remember/recognize.
BTW, Ellen thinks that Tom is the boy with the zippered hood, in the middle of the third row. The two girls on either side of him are Carol Ann Oberholtzer and Ann Greenawalt.

Well, this is Mom. But who are the kids? I don't think that's Tom, and the newborn is presumably the mystery baby from a couple pictures ago. This might be the house in Lenhartsville. Taken at the front corner of Granny Sawyer's side? And I don't remember those big trees in the front of the house. Maybe they were uprooted when the new sidewalk was put in. Cool classic auto in the left background.

Last photo from the green album. Nancy, Mom, Smokey, and Tom; but I have no idea where. The entire green photo album has been converted now. I'm guessing about 20% of the photos have been posted here. Anyone who wants a CD of all the images, and/or the (color) slides posted at this blog; send me an e-mail.
