146/365



I guess these photos have created a lot of interest. The top photo is mom, me sleeping, and mom holding me with her arm wrapped around Bill, taken in 1962. I pulled out the bottom photos and looked on the back to see if there were any clues. The photo on Santa's lap is marked 1966. The photo of the girl standing is marked Chic, 1910 or 12. The photo sitting on the steps only has every one's names written on the back. I have no clue where the photo was taken but I would have to guess it was Christmas 1964.

I spoke with my mother and she has confirmed some more information about these photos. The upper photo is of me, I was 10 days old and the photo was taken the day I was released from the hospital. The photo of my mother with me in her lap and her arm wrapped around Bill was taken when I got home from the hospital and it was taken at Chic's house on Northpark. Not sure if it was taken in the living room or up stairs in the bedroom. The photo on Santa's lap was taken at Higbee's in downtown Cleveland. The photo sitting on the steps was taken at Chic's home on Fairhill. When she moved from there the bird cage went to Debbie and George's on Northpark and was on the stairwell landing. The photo was taken at Christmas 1964.

  1. OK this one confuses me. I know who all the kids are, obviously, but I am confused by where this picture was taken. I remember that bird cage and the chair on the lower left is in my basement, but I can't place the house. I don't think its the North Park house, at least I don't remember a small room like that with that table etc. hmmm ?????? Tod

  2. The table and chairs look like Bebe's. Was it Chic's house though? AG

  4. It must be north Park. I too am a bit absent on my memory of this place.
    T. has the chair & birdcage?
    How about the lamp in the background?
    The table and chairs are not the same as Bebe's/Olive's.

  5. I think that lamp is the one made from some type of printing scroll. I remember two of them in the North Park house. At least the shape of the lamp seems the same..and the color. they had raised shapes with some kind of ink blotter material inside the pattern. They may have been up on Bill's dresser... Still don't think this is the north park house though......hmmm Tod

  6. ALSO, and, no I don't have the bird cage but I am pretty sure that is the same one that was on the landing on the main staircase on North Park but it had birds in it at the time ;))
