HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LARRY!!!!!

January is filled with birthdays in my family, and today is no exception...

IT"S BROTHER LARRY'S (mumble,mumble, mumble) TH BIRTHDAY!!

I don't have many pictures of Larry from childhood--and, yes, children, we did have cameras back then, but we didn't carry them with us 24/7. Yes we also had telephones, and electricity, and cars, and...well, we will discuss the dark ages BC (before children) later...

But here are a few visual offerings I have dug up today to honor my 15-months-younger-than-me brother!! Many happy returns of the day!!!!

A picture from my Uncle Bubby and Aunt JoAnn's wedding...help, CruiseGran, what year was this 1967 or so???























I dragged up an old yearbook and found THESE pictures from when Larry was in 6th grade:
His official "class picture"
















Look, nephew Dude--your father really played FOOTBALL!!









and he was very photogenic in a candid moment..























Yes is smile is still the same...

He attended the Plantation Ball in 1978 when I was presented as a graduating high school senior. Yes, it was the fashion in the seventies to wear powder blue tuxedoes all the time..
























He was around 4 years later when I got married to Grumpy Guy--yes, that's Woo on the right



















He even shared a moment of humor before the big event..



















From the archives- a scanned copy of Christmas with Santa in 2001
























Photos become much more frequent with advent of digital cameras and annual get togethers
