Back to the 40's, 50's, 60's

After admiring Hensylee's portrait, I thought I might go back to the 50's myself...

 

[Glenda]

Bob, what a nice looking young man you were!

 

[LUVMyBirman]

Very cute! Wish I had a way to scan my hubby's photo in. You could be twins. His was 60's. Photo is almost identical! Little bowtie and all. It's my favorite

 

[hensylee]

Bob, I saw it right off in another thread. You were such a cute/handsome little guy. Makes me miss my son's wee days.

I was going to suggest others might do the same, but you did it by example. Let's see what y'all looked like.

 

[Les]

Ok, Ann...Age 2, 1955.

 

[tobagotwo]

Cool beans, Les!

C'mon folks, let's go with this. Hensylee's got a fascinating idea. We can call them Antique Avatars.

 

[hensylee]

as the Irish would say:

an you're a darlin child, our dear Les.

I love this idea - what a treat.

 

[Ross]

I couldn't make it back to the 50's, so I hope the 60's are eligible for participation!

 

[hensylee]

does it for me, Ross.

Oh, the innocence of children. How beautiful you are. Your suit is so appropriate for Memorial Day.

 

[Lorraine]

Everyone looks so cute. I have a picture of me when I was two and half years old (1952) sitting with my nephew. I'm going to get it scanned and cropped and have it put on here. Everyone looks so darling!

December 1960 is as close as I can get to the 50s...

December 1960 is as close as I can get to the 50s...

I feel so left out.

 

[tobagotwo]

OK, then. It's "Back to the 10's, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's" We don't want anyone to be left out. Just a little trip down memory lane, baby through college age.

Hi Everyone!
This is the youngest photo I could locate of myself. It is from the very early 1970's. I am with my little poodle Pepper.

Take Care!

This thread is about the most fun one. Looking back at ourselves is such a treat. I keep finding them as I go from thread to thread. I love them, every one.

 

[Rich]

This is fun.
Here is (thanks to Ross ) my graduation picture in '56.
With another 48 years of miles on that face things sure have changed.

 

[hensylee]

Looka that handsome Rich.

High School graduation, Cheshire, CT, 1970.

Catch the glasses with the classic heavy plastic frames. How I hated them...

(Picture since changed back to Kindergarten/1st grade - RDH)

I am enjoying these old pictures so much. If the thread is still going for a few more days/weeks, I will maybe find time to hunt up an old picture of myself to put on my avatar.

Hensylee, you were so pretty - however, on noting your prior avatar photo, you are now a beautiful woman! One of the lucky women who just gets better with age - a sign of a well-lived, happy life.

All the pictures are just too precious.

Everyone - keep sharing your baby/teen pics - they are fun to see.
