Blast from the Past

Here are some pix from our way past.  We have lots, so it'll take a while for me to go through them and scan them in.

Me, Mike Albert, Drew Greenspan, and Doug Johnson in our school apartment

Lassie, our first dog.  A pretty old picture.

A family portrait from around 1987-1988.  We were stationed in Rhode Island at the time.  I was teaching at the Steam EOOW school.  I can't believe LensCrafters let me walk out of the store like that.

My commissioning photo as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy (1983)

Pinning on Lieutenant Commander while Chief Engineer in USS PAUL F. FOSTER (DD 964).  Doing the honors are the CO, CDR Kim Buike and the XO, LCDR Pete Olson

Kathi pregnant with Andrea, sitting by the pool at her parents' house (1983)

Kathi sitting pretty.  For some reason, she cut me out of this photo.

Kathi's Dad, Ben Board, with a beard (long before I came into the picture).  He looks like someone out of a Stephen King movie or a documentary on Mormons.

Mom and Dad, back when Dad had those kind of glasses and would wear plaid pants.  I would say that's Sally Jessie Raphael with Dad, but I have some pictures of Lisa that win the SJR award

A very young and blonde Kathi.  She wonders why folks from Mineola and her family think Tara is the spitting image of her.

Blowing out the cake on my 23rd or 24th birthday in Maryland.  Kathi is pregnant with either Andrea or Tara (we haven't decided yet).

A portrait of Kathi and me.  She is pregnant with Tara in 1984.  Where was the Clearasil when I needed it?

Our second anniversary at Mom and Dad's house.  My sister Laura is holding Andrea; I'm holding the cake.  Kathi's holding Tara.

Richard with Andrea and Tara in Charleston, SC, 1984-85.  Richard was stationed in Charleston at the time.

Pop holding Andrea.  Kathi and I are in the background (1983)

Kathi, Andrea and me immediately following my commissioning in November, 1983
