Who's the cute kid in this kindergarten picture from 1957? Me! In my carefully pressed plaid smocked dress. Prepared by my mother, likely handed down from my cousin Mary Ann.
Mariemont Elementary in Sacramento, California. In a carefully constructed suburb (Arden Park) designed for the post-war era of home ownership and happy families with mom at home and dad at work. My parents embraced that dream.
Can I see my present self in this photo of a 5 year old child? My hair's the same though thicker and healthier as a child. Having a lot of hair has never been my strong point. Wonder why I had a crooked smile. Brow and brown eyes a lot the same.
The only thing I can truly conclude is that we all looked better as 5 year olds!
