Actually, Our Home was in Brooklyn

Here I am at the age of 4 months and 7 days in the arms of my grandmother. This was taken in front of the house right near the front porch.

Here I am, a bit older, with my father.

Here I am in my backyard after I learned to walk.

Rockaway

On the beach in Rockaway (still New York City) at the age of 18 months.

Same time, same place with my mother.

Back Home

In my backyard with my parents.

Here I am on my tricycle. You can see the houses all the way down the street.

Th Adirondacks

This was taken at our summer cabin in the Adirondacks. As you can see, I am getting older.

Brooklyn Again

With my mother at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens

Back in the Adirondacks

I finally graduated to a bicycle.

Here I am at age 15. We do change, don't we?

end of "Growing up in New York." I have reached the age of 21. and we now have color photography. Isn't that great!!! This was taken upstate.
