Wallet worn sweetheart

Farnsworth was sherriff; he knew that. He just couldn't remember which county he belonged in.

Cynthia could never get guys to make a pass at her. She could never get away from that pesky halo.

Herb couldn't swim under water. Nobody cared. There wasn't any water near by anyway.

It was no surprise. Sophie was always a bit stand-offish.

Herman named his cat "German Shepherd"

Scotty never met William Shatner. Everybody asked though.

Rowena always made her shopping lists in code.

Garner taught himself to sleep standing up.
It was never useful though.

Rennie wasn't scared. He just needed his mommy's hand for balance.

Wiffie couldn't remember if she had changed her name this morning or not.

This is a row of portraits that were cut down to fit in lockets or tiny places in the family album. They were probably photobooth portraits originally but since they have been trimmed it's hard to tell for sure.

They might also have been photographer's proof prints for the customer's selection.

Most of them are barely one inch square.

They are included here just in case.

Glunda was a card carrying member of an
Underground Sewing Club.

Helena always wound her eight day clock every seven days. She figured that eventually she wouldn't have to wind it at all.

When people would ask Nell where she worked, she would always say she worked for the government. There were never any more questions after that.

Hewit had considered flying long before anyone thought of airplanes.

Francie knew she looked like Natalie Wood and her little boy looked like Robert Wagner.
What more could she ask?

Henryetta's husband was long gone but she liked to wear his old hat.

Seth was beside himself. Or, somebody was.

Yes, my hair hurts.
Thank you for asking.

Harriet thought: Sure it's fake. But so are styrofoam
and Kabuki Theater.

THE KIDS
It is always a mystery to us how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.

Dee and the Business School
The beautiful Dee. A curious story, What do you see?

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
