Here are a few early photos from school and Revere Rd in late 1958-59. I was ten or eleven years old.
This picture was Christmas Eve. I was dressed to go to church for midnight mass at Church of Our Savior Episcopal Church. I was probably singing in the choir that night. We were allowed to open one present before going to church. I remember opening the box that had the cross that I am wearing in the picture. It had my name engraved on the back. I thought that was so cool. I am trying on a new bathrobe in this picture as well. I think I protested that the one gift rule didn’t apply if it was something I was supposed to open for the purpose of wearing to church. I remember wearing that cross outside my cassock.
You can see the tea cart under the window with the crocheted cloth my mother made from nylon tire cord. The mahogany beams in the ceiling were part of the house renovations completed for Mom & Pop’s twenty-fifth anniversary and sister Molly’s wedding.
