TIDDS 1964

Enroute to Hawaii in 1964, in which we sailed on a Navy transport (my only cruise thus far) and one I remember only a few details about, the family stopped at the home of a family friend in Long Beach, California (where I was born four years earlier) and visited Lou Bridges. Here is a portrait taken there. Dad is holding Bobbie, Beth nibbling on her finger. I have always wondered where I got those squinty eyes, but at least I am not sporting my trademark photo "grimace." Mom is about five or six months pregnant with Paul.
