Back in June of 1956, when the top picture was taken, there was a lot of concern about the lack of girls in this group. Todd was born the month this picture was taken, although he doesn't make an appearance. But alas, Joni and Tonia would soon be on the way. I didn't realize that Kent, the baby in the picture, was that much older than Todd. That must be worth at least a couple of shots per round, eh?
By Christmas of 1963, the girls, plus Cary and John, had arrived. Here's a question... who is the proudest of their Christmas outfit or present that year? I have to go with Cary's cowboy outfit, even though Todd is definitely proud of that watch. I don't know where the muscle-shirt idea came from... Jay didn't seem to get the message that this was the 60's and not the 50's. I'm grinning because that new jacket, made out of that new material they just developed at the time, folds up into the center pocket. Wowsa!
Note the predominance of GI haircuts. There's a trend that came back with a vengeance in the last 10 years or so! And we fought so hard for the right to wear our hair long as teenagers. At least you can't see all of the white socks!
