Pictures from the Past

My niece Jerrica got hold of and scanned several pictures of my grandparents and some of me recently.  I copied them to my Photobucket for posterity.  I'm going to post the pictures of me (and one of my sis) first - later I'll put up some from the "old country".

These are of me when I was about 16 years old. They were taken at the stables (no longer there) at Schofield Army base in Hawaii.   My horse's name was Ka Hekili au ka Makai (Hekili).  He was a poi, but I always told people he was Morgan-Arabian because it sounded better than Mutt. :-)  We competed in English/Western pleasure at 4-H shows, but really we just hung out together and had a good time.  He was much more a pet than anything else.  I am grateful to him for keeping me out of trouble in those sensitive years when it's easy to get caught up with the wrong crowd.







And this is my sister Zoe when she was a senior in high school I think.  She is 4 years older than me.
