That second photo is actually Table Rock in southern Oregon along the Rogue River. The dam in that photo was just removed last month: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lFeisdsVsg.

My dad (the little guy in front) at four years old, with a few of his older brothers, in 1934.

Note the lack of shoes on all of them (in northern MN).

 

 

This is my mom at 12 years old, in 1935.

 

 

This is my mom on September 30, 1954, the night before her wedding.

 

 

My parents fishing in Juneau, AK, in 1955. My olderst sister, Sheila, is about a year away.

 

 

Although technically not "before our time", this is a recent (2008) pic of my folks.

In two weeks, on October 1, they will celebrate their 56th anniversary.

Wow, who does that these days...??

Cool pics Sobo. Did your parents move out West during the depression?

[sobo]

Nope,

Dad and Co. remained in International Falls, MN until he joined the Army in 1950 to get out of town and see Alaska. Had to keep them sneaky N Koreans from coming across the Aluetians, ya know.

 

Mom stayed in Pennsylvania until 1953 when she graduated nursing school with an RN cert and left for AK with a bunch of her RN girlfriends. They had heard that in Alaska, the odds were good, but the goods were odd. She got a good one, though.

 

They settled in Skykomish, WA in 1958, just a year before I came along. By 1960, the kid-birthing was complete with my little sister, and the whole tribe relocated to Walla Walla. Over the next 15-odd years, we were in and out of country many times, following the travels of my dad's career as an engineer. Ended up in the Old Dominion after the last European tour ended in 1976, where my dad worked in the Presidential Bunker near Berryville, VA.
