| 1956 at my 4-year old birthday party. On the far left is Jacquie May and Hal Todd. I don't know the girl in pretty curls or the boy right next to her. That's me way in the back wearing suspenders. Both me and I think that's Lorraine have our backs to the camera. The boy in the two-tone dark shirt is Richie Young. The two are far right, I can't tell, but maybe it is Kevin Sullivan and the girl might be Dian Lockman. The Spring Spaniel dog is Cocoa, the Lockman's dog from next door. |

Notice the shiny thing over Susan's head? That is
Christmas ornament I made in preschool a year earlier. A
Dixie cup covered in foil, with a pipe cleaner hanger strung
through it. God, what an artiste! |
|
