Photos from December 1979

 

I recently scanned in a few photos from 1979 when I traveled from Oklahoma to visit my parents in northern California for the holidays.

Here is a photo of me, my mom, my sister, and my father.

I was attending Oklahoma State University at the time (I was 19) as an Architecture major and my sister was in high school (17 yo).  My father had just retired from the Air Force.

My sister, mother, me, and my Dad.  The dogs are Bernie and Nerak.

It is hard to catch my eyes open with flash photography.  I can apparently close my eyes faster than the camera can capture the image!

Me, mom, and sister.

Another example.  It frustrates my optometrist as he has a hard time catching my eye open when they do that blast of air test.

Me, dad, sister.

Apparently I took this photo.  Not sure why my family looks confused!  Have no recollection what I did.
My father and I.  Mom had baked my dad a cake for his birthday.
