We
got to visit my grandparents at their
camp
on Sacandaga Lake. It was
always
fun to pick up the kids
in
my arms and carry them around.
Can't
do that now.
This
is an old pic, lost some color and detail.
This
was taken while on a trip to Ocean City,
Maryland.
There was this little photo shop
on
the boardwalk, this was the result.
We
took a trip to Van Ettan's farm
for
a fall bonfire and hayride.
Four
generations of family on my father's side.
A
family pet, this cat is almost bigger
than
my sister Chris and I put together.
Sailor
hat?
Lots
of cats around the house, always.
An
early trip to Wildwood Beach in Jersey.
One
of our family pets, this husky was a fun pet to have around.
You
always remember your early Christmas
toys,
like this Michigan tintoy crane.
On
our trip to LA in October, we got
together
for a pic, Chuck, Linda and Dave.
Awesome
dude! New Kyle Petty Hot
Wheels
jacket, and it fits!
From
a trip to Vermont, this was at
the
Jelly Mill restaurant. Great
place
for a lunch, Vermont has lots
of
neat places like this.
This
Vermont church is on the same
street
as the Bennington Monument.
The
brilliant fall sunshine and colors
make
this a delight for any
photographer.
You can't go wrong!
The
Mt. Equinox hillclimb is held the
2nd
weekend in June, along with the
Hildede
Classic car show.
This
is a must- see for car fans.
Happy
45th. I guess I was
sampling
the cake!

The
fireplace is a
good
place to hang
out
when it's cold
outside.

We
had
the
R/C
vehicles
out
on
Easter
Sunday.
Had
a slight crash with
the
plane.

I
got to race at Tri
City
BMX on the last
day
of the season. I
came
in 3rd place,
not
bad for a rookie!
|
This
was
Dad's
Silver Anniversary vette.
Nice
car,
total
class.
Rode
like a dream, and
lots
of power!

An
older view of Ontario
Motor
Speedway We went
to
a lot of races there,
just
like Indy!
|
The
Grand Prix towing the Fiat
850
from NY
to
LA. I almost forgot the Fiat
was
there.
|
|
|
I
worked on this gatehouse
for
a few months. Did all
the
painting and staining.
A
very fancy place.
|
Chuck
sent out this plane for the kids. We are still learning how to fly it.
Need some wide open spaces!

A
time exposure,
interstate
trip and
a
nice New
Mexico
evening.

A
fun picture, Carol and I were riding
in
the mountains, and I took this shot
in
the rear view mirror of the Honda.
Out
winning Little League team for 1996.
Great
kids, everyone had their own skills
and
abilities, it was our job to bring
everyone
together as a TEAM!
Gravedigger
truck came to Lebanon Valley,
was
shown at a local car dealer before the show.
Dennis
Anderson did a great job wiping
out
the Grave Digger during the show.
Everyone
there loved it. Lost a wheel and
went
end-over-end.
This
was our family car for a long time. Big,
comfortable,
it carried everything, everywhere. It
was
our 2nd mini-van, we are on our 4th one right now.

This
Allard
ran
at the Mt. Equinox hillclimb
in
Manchester Center, Vt. Powered by a Chrysler engine with Hilborn
injectors,
this
was
a fast machine!

This
was the best pet we ever had.
His
name was Jesse James, and
he
was with us from when we were
learning
to walk, until we were
in
our late teens. We could go
anywhere
when he was with us, no
worry
about anything or anyone!
That
is real special for young kids.
He
was a companion and a bodyguard.
This
is a studio picture my Mom had
done.
You can just see the quiet
intelligence
and devotion behind
those
brown eyes.
Here's
an earlier picture of Jesse James and I.
The
Schenectady Air Show has lots of interesting planes....
....both
new planes, and old ones.
Carving
pumpkins on a nice Hallowen weekend!
The
Ruppster Project. Stronger frame,
new
Honda 400 motorcycle engine,
rollbar,
front bumper and gas tank.
It
was a new machine by the time
it
was finished. And fast!
This
is the real thing, a Ford GT40.
This
one won Sebring in 1963, and a
bunch
of other races. This was taken
at
the Indy Motor Speedway museum.
See
how bad the smog gets in LA?
This
would be a level 5 alert!
This
is the famous $75 Corvette. '65,
A/C, power everything,
automatic. Car
had been sitting for a few months
when my Dad (left) found it. Accident
damage, right front.
It
was complete, and was towed home. Taken
down to
the bare frame and mechanicals
done. Seemed there
wasn't
ever enough time to finish the
body. The car
was sold, and the restoration
completed. Three weeks
later,
the car was totaled in an accident.
This
'72 Yamaha 250 MX was puchased for riding and restoration,
in May
'03. Great condition for a 30+ year old cycle!
Next project bike, 1972 Yankee 500 Z,
nearly complete.
Took all winter, and it's still not done yet. Sure looks a lot
better than when it started out.
