I thought since I have a bunch of old photos laying around, as everybody has, I would put a few on the web page. Maybe some humorous ones, nostalgic ones perhaps, and even some sad ones, maybe some really old ones, who knows what I'll come up with, perhaps some embarrassing ones. I'll start off with a couple of old ones and go from there.
Picture of my mother Florence (front row) and her sister Hazel with my grandparents Mary and Joe. I would guess my mother to be about thirteen, and she was born in 1901 so that makes the picture about 1914.
Very old photo of my fathers parents, Herman V. Feenstra and Dora Hoehl. They were married in 1895 and it looks like a wedding picture.
Shirley and I at our high school graduation, June 1950, about a year before we were married.
Harvey and Mary Ann Renfeldt our close friends, Harvey is no longer with us I'm sorry to say. That's Harvey when we were kids. He looks maybe 5 or 6, I've known him since we were about 4.
Vicki, Harvey and Mary Ann's daughter, who now lives with her husband Bruce and their two boys Eric and Grant right around the corner from us in Rolling Hills Estates. And Diana our daughter who has passed on.
Here is my dad, the guy on the left, in
about 1920, at The Lyric Theater in Madison, So. Dakota. He ran the
projector at night, and during the day he ran around town putting up posters
promoting the movies. ''Adam's Rib'' was the last of Cecil B. De
Mille's cheap bathtub-and-boudoir films before he went to multi-million
dollar epics he was famous for.
These 4 pictures I thought were kind of
interesting. They must have been taken by my dad in the early part
of 1928, I say that because that was the time of the failure of the Saint
Francis Dam in San Francisquito Canyon. About 450 people were killed
in that disaster. For more information http://www.rain.org/~stapaula/StFrancisOther.html
The last photo is from the UCLA archives.
That's all for this session I'll update this page from time to time as always. If anyone has any pictures or ideas that could make this page more interesting, please let me know.
