To the best of my knowledge this was taken during a family foray to California when my father was working there. This was one of those road-side tourist attractions in Tennessee. We took a bus all the way, very typical for that era.

Nice album with some great pictures, I am glad you shared your sister and your lives work with us. I am very sorry for your loss, she will always be with you. I hope you continue to take pictures and to share with us, maybe even more of her works?

Thank you. When you're young you don't realize life has its limits. She knew she was in serious trouble, but was too terrified to look ahead. I, the "kid brother" at 74, realize that even though I'm currently healthy, it'll come to me someday also.

Thank you for your sentiments. Even though I lived and travelled quite often throughout my lifetime, there was always her house in New York for me to come back to as a security blanket. I lived in her house for about a year after she passed, but I had to sell it because of the bank's foreclosure. That was the final separation from my family (none left) which had been supportive throughout my life.

My Dad in 1943 when he was 29 years old. This must have been during basic training, because he came over to Normandy with the US troops on the 2nd day of the D-Day invasion in June 1944. I was born 3 years later. He was a "Seebee".

Mom and Tina (maybe 1 year old) in front of their apartment building in Parkchester (Bronx) NY. I was born and lived there also 3 years later. Parkchester was built in 1941 you can see from the skyline in the background that the area still wasn't complete.

Try: "mergellina86". There's nothing too much different with the locked albums; except I had an old enemy from Gaeta harassing me.

Thankyou, I have seen your albums before if I remember correctly. Its very enjoyable being taken back in time when innocence was a thing to be cherished.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. She seemed to have lived a full life and was a wonderful person. Your album was a fitting and touching tribute to her. Great images, ducman4988.

Thank you for your sentiments. I keep thinking to myself; did I do everything I could for her during her lifetime?

I think we all feel that way, especially about those we love in our families. My brother is mentally ill and although he is still alive, I wonder how I will cope once he's gone. It's a universal experience, regret. Although we can focus on the good things we had with our loved ones.

More of Sis' photos from when she was taking a photography course at San Fernando Valley State in CA during the 60's. Don't we all wish we were back at that time!

Can I just say, your photos pictured a truly beautiful woman that has lived a memorable life. Thank you so much for sharing.

You are welcome. She was the last close member of my family; and now I find myself without direction. Posting all my photos is giving me a little bit of reason to continue on.

I was working at Great Yarmouth for Bechtel Corp. Sis Tina came to visit me, and we went to tour London while she was in the UK.
