Here are some really nice older photos of my Mom and Dad. The first one is my mother right around the time she and Dad first got together. Mom recieved a Masters in History, and became a Califonia school teacher and professional illustrator, artist, and photagrapher. The second picture is my father at the same time, a charming scientist who would soon earn his PhD in Physics. The Third picture is my Mom with her family, sitting down for a meal. I love this one because of the view of 1950s Americana, a loving Kansas family with Ike’s picture adorning the dining room. The last picture is an unclassified shot of my father with a scientific team on an extended field assignment at the Nevada Test Site, where they were witnessing the detonation of nuclear weapons. (This pictures is now part of a file the Federal government is examining to determine if the thyroid cancer that took my father’s life was linked to this testing.) Dad is standing, second from left.
