As a child, I went
on a number of vacations.
And what would a childhood by
without embarrassing photos taken while on vacation, and my
parents took their fair share of those photos of me. I'll
share one:
3 This was known as a "rest stop" in
the 1950s. They carried the potty chair in the car when we went on vacation.

4Here I am in St. Augustine, FL, looking a lot like Indiana
Jones (though he hadn't been created yet) in my Buster Brown shoes.
I liked Howdy Doody and
Hopalong Cassidy and Winky Dink (probably the first interactive TV cartoon show
that only worked if you
had a plastic overlay and a grease pencil).

3My
parents believed in dressing me like a little man...from another
century?
Here I am in my tweed
double-breasted coat and cap.
They also made me wear bow
ties and short pants with my Buster Browns.

4As
a young child, my most favorite activity was playing outside in the
snow. Since we lived in West Virginia, there seemed to be plenty of
snow every winter. Once I built my snowman, I would go
sledding. |

3Of
course, I wanted to grow up to be a baseball player...but the
uniform didn't quit fit.
My favorite team then was the
Cleveland Indians, but I was also a big Brooklyn Dodger fan as
well.
Later on, I collected baseball cards when we weren't
flipping them at school. |
