Paul, John, and Arch.

They look like trouble. Paul in short pants...knickers? What do you call those?

And here they are again with their ring leader

I had this very nice photo of my grandparents at the top of the blog in the banner for a brief time. It's nice but it was too grim so I moved it to a regular post. I think this must go with the same serious Christmas photo I had earlier with my parents and aunts and uncles.

I did not know them when they were young. But these photos are closer to the stories I know about them. The baby is Beth.

Here's the crew. Baby Christine brings the total to six. I finally got a little sister.
L to R, Dean, Scott, David, Dwight. Seated Margaret and Christine.
And of course, Laddie
