Southend Pier in the distance. 1964.

Taken in Fairfield, CT 1965. This was the first car my family had ever owned. It was a really big deal and it (she) was given a name. I don't remember how it got bashed up. It was beautiful when we first got it. I think it's a Lincoln Mercury but not sure.

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: LEAVE-TAKING Deliriously happy. First, we're ditching our parents for three weeks of freedom. Second, we're returning to England. We'd been gone almost eight years. It was 1972. Ruth and I had saved our money (mostly babysitting) and bought cheap student plane tickets and a BritRail Pass. We're seniors in High School but I was at a hippie school where I was told to "check out the women's movement in England" Ruth went to a regular school - I forget what she was supposed to do to "justify" 3 weeks off. Our parents - not really the kind to worry (we're seventeen with no idea what we'll do for three weeks when we get over there except for a few nights at relatives) - sent us off in high spirits - lots of jokes and cracking each other up - general hilarity at the depot. In contrast, the American girl that went with us was saying an emotional goodbye to her mom who was also teary and worried. The really funny thing about this was that their reaction was so foreign to us I can remember saying in disbelief "Wait, you're not crying are you?" - not to be mean but astounded!

The Woodlands Avenue Men's Club Outing about 1959. Probably Clapton. Or is it Clacton?

Front Row L to R: Ruth Brown, Nicholas Lundbech, Unknown, Diane Hall and Linda Whiting.

Taken by 10 year old me in 1964 on my new Kodak Instamatic. This was "the hollow tree" (Is it still there?) behind Rayleigh Lodge and at the top of Brocksford Avenue. Questions for Ancient Tree people - is this an oak? and my memory says this was still alive - is that possible? also, do any of you know what would cause the hollowing out? and how ancient could this tree potentially be? Thanks for any insights!

Taken with my new Kodak Instamatic in 1964. This was somewhere in the Brocksford Avenue, Grove Road area. I remember feeling very proud of this picture - it was my first roll.
