Mom & Dad: The 1950s
Early family years, Daytona summers, birthdays, Christmases, and the everyday moments that became family history.
Visit this storyWelcome to My Family Pages
Family history is made from much more than names and dates. It lives in old photographs, familiar faces, birthday cakes, beach days, crowded porches, family trips, dogs underfoot, and all the ordinary moments nobody realized would become important later.
This page is the trailhead into those memories—from Grandma and Grandpa and Mom and Dad, through my sisters and the family we grew up in, to Kym, Buddyboy, and the people who are part of my life today.
The individual pages will continue to grow as more old photographs are found, scanned, identified, and turned into stories.

A Living Family Album
This collection is not meant to be finished. Every newly scanned photograph can identify another face, restore another small story, or connect two generations that never had the chance to know one another.
The family pages preserve both the major milestones and the quieter things: the way people gathered on a porch, the clothes they wore, the cars parked nearby, the places they returned to, and the way the youngest person in one photograph became the grandparent in another.
That is what makes these pages valuable: together, they turn a box of old pictures into a family story.
