« on: December 25, 2008, 05:21:47 AM »
I was lookin through pictures last night, this is the oldest Christmas Picture I could find of myself

Christmas 1952,  I'd be the little one in front.    ;D  The others are my Cousins,  my Dad's Sisters kids.

 ;D ;D  I think I've got about 3 or 4 color pictures from that day,  they were taken by an Uncle,  don't know where he came up with color film,  all the other pictures I have are black and white until sometime up in the late 60's when a few color pictures start showing up.

Tex, them red boots was the very first pair of walkin boots I had, my Mom kept em around forever,  they may still be in here in some of her stuff we kept.  my Grandpa bought em for me down at the Bully  Good Saddle shop in Muskogee,  I don't know how many pairs of em he bought me but  I had em evertime my shoe size changed. ;)  if you'll notice my coat is as close to what his looked like as he could find. ;)    I was named after him, so it was always Bill & little Bill,  people who knew me all my life called me that for years after Grandpa had passed on.

OT, I was always known as Little Jim, because Dad's business partner had a son named Jim also. He is about 5 years older than I am.  I came home for a visit after I moved to Dallas, I had been working out and I was up to about 210. We ran into the other Jim and my Dad said " I don't think we can call him Little Jim anymore" and they didn't.

Maw's got all the old pictures.  I probably wouldn't want to share them anyway.  If I were my dad, I would have revoked all dressing privileges early on. ::)

Guess I got lucky in that department.  My first suit fer pitchers was all denim.   :D  Can't find the derned things anywhere (the pitchers not the clothes).  I think one of ma ex's has em er burned em er whatever.

My Dad wasn't into takin' still camera pictures. He had an 8 mm camera that he took movies of all our trips and vacations. I don't have any old pictures at all.

Did someone say denim?

Here's my grandmother and father at Christmas somewhere around 1976.  My father worked for Levi Strauss.  Can you guess who made his suit?
