The Early Years

I was going to leave these pictures out and then found that I couldn't - they form a brief montage across the earlier years of my life.  When I get the chance I'll be scanning as many pictures as I can; it's been my desire to put together a family album online for years now.  Until then, I think these belong here.

There is something about this picture that has always touched me, though I don't remember having it taken.  (I have some memories from around this age, but I don't remember this day.)  I look so happy, with the abandon that only children seem to be capable of expressing, standing in that golden sunshine of the earliest years.

This is from my ninth grade graduation ceremony.  I was able to wrestle my hair into looking good that day and I really loved that dress.  But if I look a little downcast, it's because I was holding in tears.  Yes, I have always been something of a sentimentalist.

This is my tenth grade I.D. picture.  Yes, that's a flannel I'm wearing, but it was the mid-90's.

This is my eleventh grade I.D. picture, and that was a pretty good school year, all told.

Ye senior photo.  Unlike a lot of other people, my senior year was probably the worst of my high school career.  If I ever get to go back to high school a la Peggy Sue Got Married, I'm going to do a number of things very differently.
