Bad weather this week has driven me to do something somewhat productive. At least it will be good for a few laughs and memories.
I have been sorting through my archives (six huge rubbermaid plastic bins) of pics and slides and found some fun climbing stuff, including Woodson and Santee Bouldering Contests. (KP, watch out, you actually wore a Halloween Costume)
Also revisited our family library and paged through the books I have on rock climbing... the few left that the kids have not "borrowed".
Found a classic book, Yosemite Climber.
Question: Mike Graham, Are you the the Mike Graham on page one in the black T-shirt on the Titanic boulder problem near camp 4?
If so, has Ian seen this picture?
Found my paisley shirt boys on several of the pages. Great Book!
Pic showing TBA.

bvb- You know I don't think I included many of Dan 'cause he was always like, "no, don't include any of me", but I'd try to sneak a few in anyway.
If the ones I put together today turn out ok I'll think about doing some of Dan. I just don't want him looking down saying, "What the heck is that woman doing?" He climbed for himself. Smiles from Lynne

Maybe someone can walk me through this. I have quite a few pictures. What do you think? Maybe put 10 or so on ST per day? I think I have about 100 pic's and they are pretty much all different and fun.
Then I have tons of slides from Suicide/T. and Y. Valley. But that will have to be next year.
I JUST ASK ONE THING TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. PLEASE SEND POSTS AND PRAYERS TO THE INAKI OCHOA FAMILY THREAD, EVEN IF YOU DID NOT KNOW HIM. LOVE EXPRESSED TO A FAMILY THAT GRIEVES IS POWERFUL. MANY OF YOU DID THIS FOR ME AND IT WAS AND STILL IS INCREDIBLY HEALING!

Lynne, let us know if U need any tech support type advice...
sometimes, for 1st time scanner/uploaders
(I don't know if you've done this 100 times or none)
there's confusion about image size, meaning the scans
often default at 300ppi, images for posing online
are 72ppi.
This utility seems ideal for Windows users
to prep pix for use on the web:
http://www.irfanview.com/
seems great, free too.
(I set mine up just for pix)
Of course if you're a pro at it I apologize in advance,
not my intent to insult anyone's expertise.
cheers and have a fine evening

Raydog, I'm pretty much a learning idiot, but
1) I have my daughter Amy
2) I do know one thing, when you load a pic onto ST you need to
keep the size down so it doesn't screw up the written post.
3) I guess I may need help, so I will scream/holler if I need
help. Is that ok?

yes, if you like,

Tarbuster is very good at this,
U can scream at him :)
the main thing is:
the image file (that U upload) is 72ppi.
w/ a max width of about 700 pixels,
640 seems good.
you got a photobucket account?

Sanjan, I hope you cleaned up and defraged cause the pic's are now on CD. Had them cleaned up best I could some are pretty old and they've been in the closet since at least the 1982 Bouldering Contest.
There are some great individual and group pictures. I am pretty jazzed! Tonight I'll work up the comments for the pic's. It will be a group effort tho cause there are alot of people I recognize but can't remember names or boulder routes etc. Hey, I was busy taking pictures.....and now I'm glad I did. I feel like I just won the lottery.
I may need help I can get the pic on ST but even tho you guys told me how to put the comments on I misplaced the info. So would you again be a good samaritan and either post or email. Thanks so much for you patience! lrl

Don't have any of one like that Clint. These are pretty much original photos I took awhile back. Sure would like to have credit for such an awesome photo like the one you posted, but I think (hope) you'll like the ones I've got.
D. Hensel, KP, Waugh, RV, Maria, Mari, JB, J. Woodward, Nakahira, Euro's, Uh, I think there is even one of Largo. OK, I'm gonna stop cause I'm forgetting tons of names like bvb, think my brain dead brain figured out your code name. (Forgive me bvb I'm still in shell shock and missing Dan, but I did listen and put some of his photos in, thank you for the suggestion!!!)
So, it will be fun. I'm OUT of this Thread have a new one to post. Lynnie
Edit to Clint: Mr. Mike said he had just lost 25 pounds before this pic was taken soloing, ????which route????on El Cap??? due to bad weather??? OMG. But an incredible pic.
George Meyers gets credit for that fantastic photo. Titanic.

Sorry, Bongkie, lost my step by step instructions from Mighty Hiker, just this minute found them. I am pretty inept. I've only done this once before on ST and could not figure out how to do the message. This time I want to do it right.

Just a note. It's 6:15 pm at the office. Amy started at 4:30 pm to "work with me" so I could do this. We almost came to blows!
I kept hearing, "MOTHER, NO please STOP!" Hard to focus and learn something new when you're being beaten by your daughter who is taller if not bigger than you.
She left at 5:30 cause her tour of duty at work was over. Don't tell her, please, but I'm doing just fine. Hehehehehe

Hats off to Lynne! this is an out-and-out revivial of ST. Thanks.
I don't think that is Jonny (the "woman in the middle"). Too short, not quite the right face.
I had a pair of those galibier shoes that I got from Todd Skinner. He was positive that the rubber was a little stickier than EBs. He might have been right, but we were using them at Vedauwoo so the stickiness didn't matter much and they got trashed so fast I never got to check them out anywhere else.

When I first discovered SuperTopo, it took me a while to figure out how to post photos. I'm not a computer ignoramus, but my plaintive cries for help usually got less than helpful three word responses, e.g. "Use Photobucket". Luckily Crimpie and I believe Curt came to the rescue, with somewhat more information. Eventually I figured it out, though my first photos were microscopic. I even got a scanner.
After being here for awhile, I noticed that newbies frequently had the same need. So I put together some paint by numbers instructions as to how to post photos, which I've updated as PhotoBucket changes its website. At least once a month I send it to someone, and usually it seems to work.
With Lynne, we seem to have hit the jackpot. Some wonderful photos. Thank you!
I suspect many here wish they'd taken a few more photos of their friends and climbs when they were young. Remembrances of things past. But there must be lots of photos out there that still need to be scanned and posted, with or without the help of geeks and photoshop.

Dang Lynnie it's almost 7:00 and I'm lookin for more classics. I suggest that you DON'T modify any of the photos. Something about the state they're in that makes them even more classic to look at, maybe I'm old or whatever, but the stuff yer posting is(are) CLASSIC just the way they are. I gotta figure this photo stuff out cause I got lots of OLD stuff I could post, but got no Tarbuster to help me on this one.....where the hell is he anyway, I can't believe he hasn't posted up on this thread. Hey Roy, where are ya boy??? Anyway gives me something to look forward to after my work day is over at the office, hope there's some fresh stuff later today!

Russ, what a sense of humor you have, and I can tell you are not intimidated by my threats. Have we ever met?
Waugh vs Bachar (hey that could be a fight title)That's Waugh's hat, I'm almost certain. Not being a true climber back then I too looked up a lot of shorts taking pics hehehe as you can see here. I guess that turned out to be a good thing. If I had been climbing...no pics

Well, lets see if I can fire up and figure out the photo bucket thing again.

Hey Lynne, incredibly nice pics. Who's doing the picture taking, some of the shots are fu-king classic! I too like the one of the shoes shot in a shallow depth of field (rest of the pic out of focus). And the one of the girl in mans arms is quite touching.
Keep 'em coming when you have time. The thread ain't going anywhere.
If you're going to the Facelift this year, that'll be extra incentive for me to make it back. It's a really good time, I just don't know if I'll be able to get away with Little John's arrival into my life. We'll see.
Thanks for sharing your slides with us..trust me, we love it!

Great photos, Lynne!
I wasn't able to open them at work, and am now home and totally blown away by this treasure.
That guy bouldering alone with his head in the crack is Powell. You can also tell by the photo of him standing next to Dan--the shorts, and the polo shirt with the weird swami with stipes on the back butt. Also KP in the 2nd photo from the top of the last page--under the Judges photo--with unknown guy bouldering.
And Russ is correct I think. Pretty sure that's John Bachar. I've seen photos of Mikey Waugh from those days...and I don't think that's Mike--his legs aren't that long. Everything about it says JB...unless John had a twin out there. :-)
You've done a great job posting these, Lynne. Thanks so much for taking the time. You're really great.

Yes, I concur with Graham on the Waugh ID.
Waugh w/ hat:
Waugh in initial photo (enhanced) also w/ hat:
(plus, the sighnature Waugh beak...haha)
And the clincher, note the flaw at the bottom of the chalk bag,
...a small tuck in the fabric were the bottom is sewn on:
Bachar, at that time would have had one of two chalk bags:
One expertly crafted by Mari or perhaps an early ballistics model made in Graham's shop.
NEITHER craftspersons would produce such tripe.
(Waugh made his own bags, maybe at Wilderness Experience)

Mike, you know by now I love the threads (as in clothes). All the guys did wear the same stuff back then. Reason is why you are in business.
The climbers bought what they could find that was reasonably comfortable and there was very little out there. Few sports clothing company's that climbers could use.
I know, cause Dan refused to shop. I bought most all his threads and shoes. He made a plaster cast of his foot and covered it with some plastic goo that dried as imitation skin. I got to take this to Nordstroms to buy his dress shoes.
He was a gun shop Cabelas man.

Bachar has longer femurs then does the Gran Wazoo.

Tarbuster,
First I'm making an appt. to take smart lessons from you. Why didn't I think of this?
Soooooooo I don't think JB (if you mean J Bachar will be a problem, I think he likes his own legs).
Now Russ, hmmmm, ya, you are right. We need to be very careful. Note: the Joanne Woodward comments. Yes, Russ IS dangerous.
So, one lesson to be learned here. When you take a pic. of a human climbing make sure to include the chalk bag! Gottcha!
On a more serious note, so really great and good to have you back TB. Missed your great smarts, wisdom and humor! Lynne

And last,
More detail on the chalk bag.
Waugh:
And a Mari chalk bag from that era, worn by Bachar, from a Bullwinkle photo.
Note the "hinge" afforded by the midships stripe of lighter fabric:
(and the later ballistics model, made perhaps by Bachar himself in Graham's shop, had no hinge)
-The key here is the lap felled seam at the hinge fabric, which Waugh's bags ---did not have
I have to know this stuff, I had one of those Waugh chalk bags myself:

Gotta tell you a quick story about D. Nakahira.
Darryl, Dan, I and our 4 kids were out at Josh at the More Monkey than Funky problem. Darryl was just about ready to top out when he came off (with no pro, no huge cushioned landing pad, or even a towel).
He landed on his feet and literally blew up his tennis shoe. Powder from the shoe was there on the ground and the collapsed shoe just laying there, half of it just gone.
Our kids still talk about it. DN was a super person and really helped with our kids so I could enjoy life too.

wow, what amazing photos. lynn, don't know if anyone has ID'd the area yet, but most of these photos were taken at the magnolia boulders. this crack:
was the 20-point problem that nobody did during the first magnolia bouldering contest in '78 or '79. i remember watching bachar try it. lynn, is it possible this pics are from two different contests?
i know the first comp was late '70's 'cause guy andrews was there, and the next weekend everyone went up to do the north face of san jacinto and gunther fell, like, 2000 feet.
but, the t-shirt says '82. so i'm confused. i know for sure the pic of bachar is from spring '78 or '79.
in any event -- my god, what a great set of period piece photos, they so, so capture that time. i got a little misty looking at them, thanks so much and can we have some more?
EDIT: yeah, it was the '78 GWBC when those pics were taken. here's the same crack from a different angle:

I have a pretty good memory cause I had to deal with my hard core hubbie and 4 kids, so I usually had my wits about me.
We had a Woodson bouldering contest and I thought it was Santee but it could have been Rubidoux bouldering contest. KP or RV will know.

Hey Lynne. Sometimes perfection, or at least being close to it is important. My dad was an engineer building rockets at one point in his career. Big ones. Those things needed to be pert near perfect in order for them to work. But that need for perfection carried over into his day to day life and sometimes that kept him from really enjoying living.
These photos don't need to be perfect. It is the memories they invoke that are important. Plus some of us weren't there, so when you share them we get to peak into a place we didn't get to visit and see some of the people we admire. So it is the sharing that is important.
Thanks for doing that.

My legs are crap, but feet are better. He said I'm really flexible, but it is hard to do the dyno moves pushing from feet cause my feet/legs are so whimpy.

DO NOT take Russ too serious, he is at least in my opinion, serious when need be, but can be a funnier than hell, to keep this crazy life in prospective. When you meet him, he will be just like the rest of the Topo Taco's...friend for life probably, twisted but true, and "unique" in a way you'll NEVER forget. If you went to the bouldering contests, you probably know Fish, just don't remember. Maybe Dan was doin you a favor and kept you away from him and most of his Vato's.

I have to agree BVB, I recognize several of the boulder problems from Magnolia aka Lakeside boulders. The photo above your qoute (overhang with crack), is near the top of the hill facing west. A couple of the other TR photos are near this problem. I have spent many of my afternoons there and always had a good time.
Anyone else agree the one judge on the right is Werner Landry?

Yeah Lynn all the names confuse the hell outa me, I can barely remember my REAL name so I only have one on this forum. I think I dated Russ' sister! She gave it up pretty quickly, 1st, 2nd, 3rd base within the first pitch and then the summit was a grand slam. I think Fish actually had a cuter figure, for sure the hair was better on Russ. I remember Andre Olebre feeding fruit to the Fish.

That was my first multi pitch climb, Dome Rock on the way to the Needles. And this was the man responsible for my success, Mr. Ed Sampson.
He followed me on the climb and when we both were at the end of the first pitch, I was freaked staring at this bolt having my famous bolt conversation.
I offered to buy Ed a brand new rope if he would help me rap down. He just laughed and said you'll be happy when you top out.
Can you tell by my smile, I WAS!

the line length will be the size of the "box" which is set by the minimum of the widest picture or your browser window size... you have a wide picture up thread (notice on this window the print is back to the default size, which is the width of your browser window)...
Don't know if anyone saw it, but I think the climb in question above is Church Bowl Tree... (one of the two pictures you posted of it is the wide one).

With Randy in the pic below Randy and Mari: That is Bruce Pottenger, the guy who made all the tshirts everyone is wearing. AKA, Kinnaloa, AKA MoMo
In the pic below that, the blondish dude in white pant might be Terry Ayres, AKA the Lima Bean or Junior.... he was probably 12 years old then, but it might be him. He posts here sometimes as "Junior". The two guys behind the Lima Bean look real familiar, but I don't know their names.
In the bottom photo of Randy, the blurry guy with the pony tail and red jumper is Greg Epperson.
Bruno edit: no way man... that is Eddie Moe for sure. There are a ton of those Moes, including eddie Moe, Larry Moe, Roger Moe, a sister or two Moes, and some mystery brother Moe... Eddie Moe still dyes his hair blond though. Probably the pic was taken on a heavy roots day.

Ok thanks to Anders for the beta on posting photos, I know....I gots to downsize the images, but hell this is my first attempt at this stuff. Lynnie ya got me the motivation to "take the next step" and learn some o this techy schitz. Most of the pictures are from slides on my wall with a hand held digital camera, so the details are a bit fuzzy, next is the scanner!

Ron, good work!
Usually it helps if you post the URL for the photo on a separate line - that is, a paragraph or line of text above or below the photo, to tell us what's in the photo, then the photo.
Then the text and photos all line up with the left margin, and are a bit easier to look at.

I'm learning so any tips will be taken and utilized in the future.
Let's see it took me about 5 years to post these so don't be looking for too much too soon. Hey maybe we should all pool our photos and come out with a "new" Yosemite Climber type book, ya'll must be familiar with that great book. Any suggestions with shopping for a decent slide scanner that doesn't cost a fortune?

RE:

right, me too.
here's a great scanner 4 everything - Canon = bomber, IMO.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16838111012
the thing about images for display on the computer screen
(uploaded for the web)
is that the specs for the size (in pixels)
is calibrated at 72ppi (pixels per inch)
remember 72ppi, that's key.
also,
this is made 4 what you're doing:
http://www.irfanview.com/
I set mine to just image viewing during the install,
really good 4 editing pics to be uploaded.
Simple, stable user friendly app, low system
resource consumption and free as can be!
It asks what you're doing w/ the pics,
and does the whole batch - it's a forum/
blogger image editing app.

Sorry, I briefly channeled some geek speak.
URL means (I think) something like "Universal Resource Locator". It's the unique internet address for a website or a photo. A combination of symbols, letters and numbers. When you put a URL in a SuperTopo post, the ST computer automatically knows to go to that "address" and get whatever is there.
A typical URL for a photo on ST usually starts and finishes with [img]. That identifies the thing that's being found as an image. I can't post a full URL for a photo for you, as then all you'd see is the photo.
The URL for SuperTopo is http://www.supertopo.com
The URL for this thread, within SuperTopo, is http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=603398 Kind of a sub-address. Just like a URL for a photo is a sub-address within another website.

since we're taking a little stroll down memory lane, and adding provenance to these pics as we go, here's some deep background on this little gem:
this brutal little crimpfest, on the backside of the ampitheater at "old" santee, was fired first try by kevin powell on his first trip to santee in 1977. me and watusi were giving him the tour and he just hiked all the established probs, then casually added a few new ones that were harder than pretty much everything there. he didn't even bother naming this one. back in the late 70's is was known simply as "the powell crimp." despite dozens of attempts spead over several years, i wasn't able to do it until fires came out.

I'm wondering if that is the late great Shawn Curtis with the red hair RIGHT under John. Father Guido Sarducci,(black hat) who was that, contest must have been around Halloween, if I remember contestants were dressed up in costumes. I've told the story before, but Santee had just burned and me and Howard King show up early that morning and Yabo is sleeping on the ground amongst all the ash. We wake him and he is FULL of black ash, he gets up and behold he is ready to boulder(after massive loads). That shot of Yabo Ape Factor is taken within minutes of him waking, he dusted off a bit and went to work on the problems.
Peace

Oh, you guys are just the greatest! Talking together, helping each other....my my I am so impressed!
Suddenly I am energized again from you wonderful ST's.
Say, R. I am just down the freeway...I could drop by for 5 min. and show you how it works. Plus...I do not think you are using a "POST" for each picture, cause your pics all run together with no room for you to comment. For each pic you need to punch the post button on ST.
When you hit the IMG and that crazy script goes on the ST Post, hit enter and you can write whatever comments you want.
Then go back to photo bucket and pick another picture, go through the same process and go to ST and Post and do it again. You need to separately POST each picture so they don't run together.
You did fantastic without an "Amy". I love your pic's. Being a leg woman the Bachar legs are tied with Yannick Noah's .

Not actually true Lynne.... after each set of IMG tags, just hit return and then you can put in a caption or whatever, and then hit return again and pop in another URL between the IMG tags.
Some posts will have dozens of pictures with captions and lies after each one with easy to read spacing.

I've never fly fished for Salmon in Alaska..... but I have noodled Salmon in Alaska, including the State Record catch, have rendered down an entire whale for lamp oil, all while doing missionary work with the Inuits on a 9 year stint.
(for the record, noodling is when you use only your hands to catch fish, by gently stroking them on the belly under the bank of a river, or my letting them engulf your entire arm, and then whipping them on to the shore drydock style. Most hicks do this with catfish..... but I have taken the art North to Alaska)

Do you mean tickling? As in tickling trout?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trout_tickling
A fine and ancient art, that can also be used on other fish. Not that I've ever tried it. Though I used to trout fish. But the name, and idea, tickled my fancy. :-)
Edit: The wikipedia article refers to noodling as a regional variant of tickling, for catfish rather than trout.

FORGOT to SAY...WHEN I READ your whale rendering ..Missionary post I really about died laughing. Son visiting from Belgium made me read the whole thing to find out why I was dying laughing.!!!!
Then we were both rolling on the floor.
Prefer to think the huge blank space was for a picture that didn't make it. Not accepting the L word. Noodling, is that a "real" word and definition or is that "fish" talk.
To clean up my act also, I didn't live with them, just spent a couple of days there.
I did catch a yummy salmon. Truth, I did not thread my hook. Truth, I did pull it in myself.
Truth, the walrus are thousands of pounds of SMELLY lard, but incredibly graceful in the H2O.............and now we are back to Nemo again.

I'm thinking that the tubesock thing started with Jim Collins in Boulder. In 1978 he worked Genesis (really early 5.12+) relentlessly and was regularly featured in Climbing wearing tube socks.
You can just see them here:

nah, it wasn't just ericson with those lame socks, everybody wore tube socks back then 'cause that's what was available. check out any photos of dudes in shorts in the 70's, they're all wearing f*#king tube socks, they were as ubiquitous as corduroy pants and wallabes, i maen i'm pretty sure largo was wearing tubes socks in some of the photos form "pumping sandstone" and "pumping granite."

Yeah Bob's got it, it was what everyone wore back then. Look at the shots I posted, everyone had them. No one wears socks with climbing shoes now, back then you HAD to, try on a pair of EB's or any shoe from that era, hard, stiff and tight. When I got my first pair of Fires I switched to no socks and the smell factor went out the roof. Anyone still got tubers? Maybe we should start wearing sani's from baseball. Ya know the socks worn under yer stirrups. Those come in all the wild colors too. When I can get a scanner I'll put up this shot of a guy I used to climb with named Kirin(sp) he wore these funky "socks" from like ballet, these suckers went up to his knees. Looking through some old slides yesterday I came across it....as well as some other classics. Found the Rakers hat rack shot, some great Largo shots belaying one handed, Badyrka with long hair and tube socks, Randy and Maria handing out donuts at the bouldering contest. I NEED a slide scanner!

Tube socks were the '70s and early 1980's lycra. They were bound to go higher and higher until you just wore them as pants.
Great shots and what a trip down memory lane, thanks. Too bad I missed Woodson and SoCal from mid 1980 to 1984. I missed some good contests. My first was Magnolia Boulders in 1979. Although as a result I did see Mt. St. Helens blow from the Columbia Gorge after a day of climbing on Beacon Rock, on May 18th, 1980.
Something about the '70s and '80s that I miss dearly --- the innocence and we were all fringe back then. Now climbing is soooo mainstream. There are benefits for sure now, but those times were truly magical and unforgetable.
Someone (maybe all of us) needs to think about another Woodson Shin-dig for the early spring of 2009. The ST 2007 Woodson Shin-dig was a blast.

Hey Leah! Gosh I have so many great memories climbing and partying with you guys. I always admired Edge's even temperament when climbing with him. Even though he was a way way better climber than I ever was, he always asked me about routes, locations and such. Tell him Booger Roof! Talked with Lonnie about a year ago and he filled me in on Amy and such. Missed her.

Lynne, how cool to go back in time and remember the old "glory" days-"shoe dopping", the sibling rivalries (yes we were all just and still are big kids), sand bag ratings and wrong beta just for fun. Hensel and I were at Suicide recently (last Friday) and between our two fading memories were able to figure out that we had first climbed there together almost exactly 33 years ago to the day. New Generations and Rebolting Developement were the highlights of the day. There is a vague rumour (not started by me) that there may be another Rubidoux Comp in the near future-of course there would have to be strict rules surrounding what shoes could be used i.e tennis shoes only modified with modern climbing rubber and of course the old sand bag ratings would have to be reworked to inflict even more humbling of the "new gaurd".

And another shameless plug for the Stonemaster Tshirt which I really do love. The sleeve is high enough to show my baby muscle. Thank you Mr. Mike.
Seriously, It's been a big leap from the Josh Redux to today, but it's comin'.
And then there's the.....braces on the teeth...only 10 more months....thank God.

Lynne,
Wow, I just saw this thread. Great stuff - thanks for posting.
Crazy good memories.
I thought that one thing with me on it was "Driving South" at Woodson.
Cheers y'all !

midarockjok,
I'm a little slow and relaxed tonight. Can you remind me what the prob. was? Did you need a scanner?
Before you post pics, lets talk. I'm thinking we may want to develope a new Thread?

Lynne...this is a shot of my wife and son at the Gunks after sleeping in our little home away from home in 1978.

Hey, Bob D., what a great pic! Was hoping someone would post some Vdub action. That's why I included the earlier one. Any more?
(ps, are you a serious "flower" child...if you get my drift?)

Bluey, I was such a noobie and so drifted at the end. Sorry Folks.
But last Friday in our file safe just found some Truly great BITD slides from a superior photographer. I emailed him to see if I could use them on line. Let's hope. Lynnie

Hi Mom, thanks for insinuating that your sweet, precious kids stole your pictures. Obviously you still have quite a few of them... I did however swipe some just now, via copy and paste :) Love U

Yo, Setherbugs....Cleaning out the garage. You'll never guess what I found ...your and Amy's hand made Chalk bags with your name stiched into them ....the ones you used on the "That's Incredible" TV show BITD. Did Thea make those?
Love from Mom (still working on getting to Belgium : ))) )
Bluey, I'll try and find the note on who that is.

Yeah, it must have been Thea, she's the only one who would put names on everything. I just looked thru your photobucket, keep putting pics on there, they are great! signing off in Belgium...

Still sorting out the "Old Pics and Slides". This one is a scanned photo of Dan's Aunts on a jaunt into the Valley. Knowing the age of Mary and Frieda, this pic has to be 90 plus years old.
Peace to all in Tacoland tonight. No matter what's happening in your life...each day is a gift to us as is the beauty of our planet. Lynnie
Edit: I guess to be correct I should say great Aunts.
