My oldest sister passed on a couple weeks ago, and my niece brought me some pics that my sister had...Most of our parents, but a couple of me...
The one below was taken at Rushford Lake NY, at that time a Summer residence/getaway...Overgrown with full-time residents now...My parents had a cottage there up until 1971...My dad built it himself...
It was a man-made lake, with a dam at the Southern end...In the Fall, they would drain the lake (into the Genesee River) for the Winter...This pic is labeled Nov 58...Must have been a warm November...My first dog, 'Lady', is to my right...I'm holding an old Mattel cap gun that I'd gotten somewhere; the [fake plastic] Cutts compensator was broken off, and just a jagged end stuck out...I filed it to a 'spade' tip...The folding stock may not have come with it; I remember taping it extended with electricians tape...(I started hacking guns when I was little)...
I don't remember the sweatshirt...or the hat...
