These precede the previous Pat Byrne photos by more than a year. They could have been taken during Christmas but were not developed until January, 1970, the date on the two prints. I am not sure what I am holding that seemed so important to have in my hands with a photograph. Ann is carrying an Instamatic camera and also something else that is unidentifiable.
Mom could have taken the first photograph, but I have no idea who might have taken the second picture with all three of us in the frame. The apartment building is visible in the second picture, as well as the lane of grass between the lines of concrete that made up the driveway in those days. It was home for me from the summer of 1964 until I left for the Air Force in 1973, and mom then moved to San Pedro, near the water where she had always wanted to live.
