Getting Nostalgic again . . . vintage photos

Christine is working today, so I started looking back in old photo albums and guess what I found . . .

This is my 1st Grade Class Photo! My dad was principal Mr. Holmes, over to the left and my teacher was Mrs. Ruggles - inwhich I am standing right in front of!
The 2 girls in the front row to the far left in aqua/teal dresses were Sylvia and Angela who I would develop a crush on. I would write love letters to Sylvia only to have Angela intercept them!

Here I am in 1959 - they kept me in a pin and forced me to ride ponies!!









and I would lay down with my best friend, Huckleberry Hound! I dragged that stuffed animal everywhere I would go - nowadays I have a Dinki pekingese that I walk - kinda ironic!

Back in 1974 - Prom Night!

Some family historial photos:
Here are a couple of polaroid shots of Bill in 1974 on Prom Night in his spiffy-new Johnny Carson suit! Yes, Johnny Carson had a suit line of clothing and Bill just had to have this suit! Photos were taken in the Holmes family home in Greenup County - South Shore, Kentucky - population 497 !!! (click on photos for an enlargement)


(that yellow door lead to the garage!)
I believe Bill had "lambchops" on the side of his face!!!


A proud stance in my Johnny Carson suit!
(note all the oriental decor and "white poodle!" statue in the background, Bill's parents loved oriental art and worldly artifacts.) Not sure why we had that poodle!

More past Holmes photos to come!
