Post a Pic in Your 20's...Your Prime! :)

[Beezer]

This is me catching a fish at my Uncle's cottage. I think I'm about 25 years old.

 

[Pappy]

Me in my late 20s.

Graduation day 44 years ago

Don't have one of me in my 20's on this thing.....here's me at 17 1/2 in the Army mid 1967.

Don't have any photo's back that far, and almost none of myself.

Oh gee another horse photo

I was 24 and the horse was Sonny, my then coming 11 Arab/Saddlebred that I raised & trained from birth, under the watchful eye of my grandfather.

Sonny was my toughest ever trail horse. We slid down power lines, river banks, and swam rivers in the Allegheny National Forest.

I didn’t put a saddle on his back until the summer of this photo, and only because I couldn’t get on organized rides bareback, back then. Sonny was a big motored horse but not a mean bone in him.

I laid him to rest when he was 29 and I was 42. That. Was. Pretty. Rough.



EDITED TO ADD: I thought I was fat in this foto — I should still be that “fat”

 

[Jocko]

I’d crash the site.

Here I am at 25 holding our first son. We're on Pt. Loma lighthouse in San Diego.

Oh Grandpa Don there's no sweeter sight to me than a handsome young man holding his baby.

I was too poor to have a camera when I was in my prime. You all will just have to take my word for it that I was drop dead gorgeous.

I'd guess I was around 21 yrs old when this photo was taken, I'd had gone camping on the beach (in sleeping bags under the trees) with a friend and we woke up to camels walking past us (freaked us out that we might get stepped on). It makes me smile to see that I had a hand hidden behind the water canteen, that was because I'd begged my parents to pay for contact lenses for me, but then I found it was less hassle to wear my glasses - so I'd hide the glasses in pictures so my parents wouldn't find out I'd wasted their money.

[Pinky]

I was 20, and had just moved to Toronto. Mary & I worked at the Main Parliament building.

 

[Della]

Pinky, you were so pretty and you haven't even changed.

 

[ChiroDoc]

Here's Doc in 1968:

Here I am at 25 holding our first son. We're on Pt. Loma lighthouse in San Diego.

He's a happy looking little guy. (and dad looks pretty happy, too)

 

[Murrmurr]

I'm back row, center. That's my older brother on my left (your right).
Except the dude with the glasses, the rest are cousins, one of whom is named Vinny.
My cousin Vinny is the guy in the doofy shorts making a doofy face.

I was about 24, I guess. I forget what the party was about, but does it matter?

 

[Gardenlover]

Me at 22



My wife at 19

 

[Olivia]

Me at eighteen.

 

[Olivia]

The next one up.
I'll try and fix it.

 

[Naturally]

21 and then when I turned 29 ...

 

[Remy]

Everyone is too darn good looking!

 

[squatting dog]

Just hitting my stride. Couple of months out of intensive care.

 

[Trade]

Which one are you talking about? In my 20's? Or in my prime? I'm in my prime now. Here are one of each. My oldest son and I are in both.

 

[Della]

Everyone is too darn good looking!

That's what I was going to say, all the girls are pretty and all the guys handsome.

Just hitting my stride. Couple of months out of intensive care.

Well that's a heart breaker. Just look at you smiling at your wife while still so painful looking.

Why are all our kids so much bigger than we are?
