My Old Pal
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: MY OLD PAL
I call her my cousin, although she's not, but we've known each other since we were three years old - so longer than almost anyone else.
We played together, went to school together, emigrated to the States together with our families, were teenagers together, went to college together for a year, and we still share a common world view and are really, really close except for geographically. (Ruth is in Florida and I'm in Vermont). We still manage to get together once in a while and that's always wonderful.
This is a photo of us in 1964. We have just moved to this country and Ruth's parents have thrown a party. We're 10.
Ruth and I are doing one of our regular "party pieces" and we're singing "K-K-K-Katie" a pretty insensitive song about stuttering but very appreciated by our "fans".
See below for another one of us taken shortly before we moved from England.

We are playing an English game where one person standing in front calls out: "Get your knives, get your forks, and CUT IT!
At which point the row of girls (always girls) do handstands and the caller judges whose handstand is the most perfect. Then that person becomes the caller.
Actually, we're probably just posing. : )
Thanks, Rick! I should have known you would know that song! Our families would have had some great sing-a-longs, together - with the exception of our obscure (to Americans) English songs. And I bet your aunt didn't mind at all. : )
Thank you, Alan. My mother says she has no memory of that game - so maybe it was a local Rayleigh, Essex game only!
Thanks for suggesting the group, Marta. This photo - and several more I own - were taken by an amateur photographer who developed them in his own darkroom.
Here's another:
Alan Mays club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubThe funny thing is - being directed there - I assumed the"Nostalgic Nineties" - was the 1890s - come to find out it's the 1990s - and the woman explaining the game was in her late 20s! Her game went on to being far more complicated with all the possible commands, but other that that...
I wonder where she was geographically?
Thanks, Alan, so much fun to see!
