Spring Lake and White City
Where we grew up in Lalor Tract there was a large, wild, forested area covered with lakes and streams to the immediate south of us, separated by a cliff. Growing up we knew it as The Swamp or The Marsh and it was generally known as a muddy, dirty, useless place where questionable people hung [...]

Big Snowballs!
This was taken at Longwood Gardens in 1972. I don’t know what kind of flowers they are, but I think they’re really neat. And as close to real snowballs as I care to get!

Model of the Year
My mom, Virginia Warner, poses for a picture probably taken by my dad. It must have been one of his first attempts at portraiture. By the amount of pics, she was always a willing model for him. Her dress is very modern, looking like one of Pierre Cardin’s “Mondrian” dresses that became popular in the [...]

What Is This?
This is from our family trip to Europe in 1970. At first I thought this structure had something to do with the cable cars. But it’s not really attached to them at all. An Alpine outhouse perhaps?

Dittrich Girls
This is from an old, undated , unlabeled slide. I’m guessing that’s Aunt Betty and Aunt Nan. So the older woman is probably Grandmom Dittrich. Three completely different styles of dress. Three unique people. Dittrich Girls!

Vertigo!
I don’t have a problem with heights, but this was one of only 2 places I ever felt that vertigo feeling outside. It’s from the Rising Sun Highway (I think that’s the name) in Glacier National Park, in 1965. Well, there’s really only one main road through the park. This was from a scenic [...]

Kipapa Gulch
This is Frank and Kurt in 1967, looking into one of the tunnels at Kipapa Gulch. Aunt Lottie drove us down the narrow private road to get into the gulch. Aunt Lottie was always taking us to places like that.
We didn’t expect to find the tunnels. But there they were, carved into [...]

The Olde Swimming Hole
I’m not sure who these people are or where this is, but it looks like so much fun! I found this picture in one of the boxes of photos from Mom’s house.

Is it just me? What other secret pasts might the family have?
