What Happened in June 1964?

These are three photographs that were developed in June 1964.  The date on photos indicated when they were developed, not when they were taken.  I believe they were taken in front of my family's home in La Puente, California.  The first two are of me, while the third is of me, my mother, and my sister Stacy.

What's that, you say?  You don't see my sister in the third photo?  Ah, but she is there.

If you'll note, my mother looks rather pregnant in the photograph.  And even if these photos were taken in, say, April or May and then developed later in June, that means Stacy is there, because she was born on June 16, 1964 in La Puente.

So this may be the earliest photo of Stacy that my father ever took.  Happy birthday, Stacy!

Happy Birthday, Mark!

It's my brother's birthday!  And I've managed to put together a short (random) timeline of photos from over the years.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: Celebrate Mother's Day - Show Us Some Photos

I anticipated that for Saturday Night Genealogy Fun the day before Mother's Day, Randy Seaver would choose that as his theme:

Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission:  Impossible! music) is:

(1) Sunday, 13 May is Mother's Day in the USA.  Let's celebrate it by showing some of our photos with our mother.  

(2) Extra credit:  What did you call your mother during her life?  What did your children call your mother?  

(3) More extra credit:  Have you written a biography or tribute to your mother?  If so, please share a link if you have one.

(4) Share your photo(s) on your own blog post or in a Facebook or Google+ post.  Leave a link on this blog post to help us find your Mom photos.

1.  I am surprised that I can find only two photographs of me with my mother in my collections.  I need to ask my father if he has any others.  Concidentally, the only photos with me also include my two siblings.

a.  This is my mother with her three children — me, Stacy, and Mark — obviously not long after Stacy was born, which was in June 1964.

b.  And this is on my high school graduation day, June 1, 1979 (we look very 1970's, don't we?).  Back row:  my mother, Stacy, my grandmother (my mom's mother); front row:  me, Mark.  I had forgotten that my grandmother came to my graduation.

2.  I always called my mother Mommy, although I'm sure there were a few exasperated "Mother"s at times.  Only my sister had children while my mother was alive, and I believe they called my mother Bubbie, which is Yiddish for grandmother.

3.  I wrote a short tribute to my mother last year for Saturday Night Genealogy Fun.
