I
remember nothing very big about 1966, but the pictures below indicate
that I played with my brother and with our dog Tak and that we
took a vacation on the seashore.
This
all seems true, and the few details outlined below cling to this
fragile framework.
Above: Playing
with our dog Tak (whose name means "thanks" in Swedish).
What a good dog!

is on Evon's shoulder.

The
pictures below reflect a summer 1966 vacation on the North Carolina
coast.
I
remember the orange-yellow handle of that bow that I'm holding in a
visceral way. It glowed in the sun like a psychedelic flashback. I
also remember the plants that covered the sand behind us, and how they
clung to life on the shifting sand.
Above and Below:
Miles, Evon Gianna and Paul on a summer vacation, probably on North
Carolina coast.

This
is probably my seven year old birthday party, which took place
several months before its November 1966 processing date, in
August 1966.

My
seven year old birthday party in the brick walled kitchen at our
Bivens Street house, in Durham, North Carolina is pictured left.

I
remember that my mother got out the chess set so that we would
be "doing something interesting" in the photo.
And
all these years later, there we sit doing something interesting,
namely, pretending to be doing something interesting.
That's
more interesting than chess, don't you think?
