My father's hobby was photography and as a result, we have several thousand photos from our time when we were growing up. That's a real plus. But the downside is that, as the photographer, he rarely appeared in those pictures. That makes me treasure all the more those that he does.
Here's one from 1965. (Jenny was born in 1964; I am gauging the date by how old she looks.) It was taken in the side/back yard of 169 Prophet Drive here in West Lafayette and the photographer was most likely my Grandpa Honeywell.
The cornfield behind us is now a neighborhood, St. Joseph's Court, and the gravel road behind that is a now-paved Kalberer Road. A Purdue farm was on the other side of Kalberer and that farm is now my neighborhood, Arbor Chase. Some of the woods still remain.
