Okay, these photos were taken in Paso Robles, CA, our first apartment. I lived off base while stationed at Camp Roberts. My wife is very pregnant with my oldest son. This would have been early 58, as my son was born in August of 58. As you can see, I had the day off.

I’m guessing about 1970s. Always had to have a Buick. This was taken at my Moms house.

This one goes way back. Me and grandpa and his trophy deer.
Wow, that car is gorgeous! And what a hansom fellow standing next to it!
I'll bet a car like that now would fetch a pretty-penny! Talk about classy...

Mom told me that this photo was used in our local paper as a milk ad.

So, what are you thinking? Maybe mom & dad made a few bucks off of your picture? (ha, ha)not that I know of 911.

A couple of times, when a cute picture of my son, deemed pertinent for some community topic article,
was taken for use in a local newspaper,
I was asked for my "okay" that they use it, but I wasn't ever offered a dime for it,
even though I asure you, he was as cute as @Pappy
The more recent of the 2 times (both very long ago)
the photojournalist informed me that I could pay the paper, for a copy of the photo,
if I'd like to order it from them, later on.
What? That's the opposite of a payment for it.....
and he was so cute, too.
Oh, I already said that part.

1957. My new bride and our one room apartment in Aberdeen, MD. The house was owned by Cal Ripken Sr. mother who gave us the run of the house. Cal and his friends would toss the ball in that yard in front of the trailer. I believe he was in a farm team at the time. I spent 12 weeks of school here, learning to repair heavy equipment. Then I was sent to California at Camp Roberts.
