    Great idea Frank, Photography hadn't been invented yet so there are no old photos of me. Oh well, I guess I didn't expect you to beleive that so here are a couple.

    This was taken in 1959, when I graduated from High School, I was 18, and had way way more hair.

    Been searching for one of me, but could only find this one. It was taken in 1966 at the ripe old age of 22.

    Somewhere I have one of when I was 4 yrs. old and dressed in a Hopalong Cassidy cowboy outfit. I think my oldest brother may have that one.

    I can not find the baby picture I wanted to post but this one was taken Christmas when I was probably 7 years old.

    OK, this is me quite a few years ago, I'm the one in the suit. I didn't laugh at your photo, so don't laugh at mine.

    I'll say it again, I love these pictures! More, more and more. If I ever figure out how to scan, I'll put one up too.

    daisybeans, just lay the old photo on a bed or low table, and take a picture of it with a digital camera. That's what I did, and it worked well.

    Hmmm, really.... even with my regular point and shoot? It's not a DSLR or anything.... Don't worry about answering that question - I'll just try it!!!
