Written by 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.
