Hi Folks;
I have to say this has been a good run for me. I still will be here. But, I ran across some replies that in a way, hurt. I shouldn't let the past bother me, but this does. Why? Well, how would you feel if you had achieved much more in life than you expected and had Not One photo from that time showing Family or Achievements?
This is where I have found myself time after time. Explaining something and having no photos to back it up. I have a limited amount, But I don't know how to translate them to the Flickr site. They are actual Photos on Photo-Paper.
Plus I don't have that many. A few Model Cars and Ships and pretty much nothing else. I have the newer stuff I have tried to post and gotten some through. Remember,I don't take a lot of photos of my stuff. Why? I still have to wrestle with that.
When little it was "Seen and NOT Heard. When it was Your teen years I was working to help support Mom. No time for that. Yes, I know they had Child Labor Laws, but, who says anything about a kid washing a car or mowing a lawn or shoveling a walk full of snow? No One. Married early and started life on that road before I was even in service. So, I have a hard time tooting my own horn
Photos? Tons of very special pictures in those old fashioned Photo Albums. In December of 1982 I lost all that. The years after were build models and get folks to leave me alone.( Personal reasons) Now The Wifey got me out of the funk. Built models and helped her through school ( Emery University) and got the "Me" back that had been hiding. Again No photos.
We weren't camera shy, just didn't have time. Now that I am an old man I see the past only in glimpses, from friends, or relatives of which I now have only one living.
Photos? Nope. Spent time working for Uncle (22 years) Made a decision that's kicking my rear now financially. Now, All that said. I love coming here and irritating the stuffing out of Ya'll. That said No Photos! But, believe me I will share with you until " The Man" pulls my plug! I will supply photos when I can. So, please be patient with this "Auld Phart? " Please
