As I have noted previously, my father did not identify any of the many, many photographs he took. So while I have been reveling in the photo bonanza that my sister's niece scanned, I am still trying to identify somewhat accurately the photos therein.
I have gotten much, much better at recognizing the people who appear in the photos, including my mother and father when they were significantly younger (although I still sometimes am not sure if a given photo is of my mother or her mother). But getting the years right is more difficult, I have discovered.
These photos all seem to be around the same Christmas, although I'm not sure about the chronology. But what year? My sister Laurie doesn't appear in any of them, so I am pretty sure it is not 1968. But is it 1967? I would be about 5 1/2, my brother Mark 4 1/2, and my sister Stacy 3 1/2. Or is it 1969, and we're all two years older? I appreciate any insight into our ages and if the order looks right. And I don't know who two of the people are! I don't think the little girl toward the end is Stacy, because she's not wearing glasses, but I have no idea who she could be. And the woman in the next to last photo is a mystery to me. I think the last photo is our Aunt Sam.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Yes, it is Sam in the last pic. If I could read which edition of Concentration is in one of the pics, I could tell you the year. For some reason neither Fortuna nor Treasure Key are in Board Game Geek.
ReplyDeleteYay! At least I now have an agreed-upon photo of Sam to compare to others. And I'm impressed that you could identify any of the games in the photos.
DeleteI found that Concentration editions 9 and 10 were first copyrighted in 1966, and editions 11 and 12 were first copyrighted in 1968
ReplyDeleteTell me which photos the Concentration game appears in.
DeleteI have determined that the Sandy and Sue paper dolls were copyright 1963, but that doesn't help narrow the year of the photos.
