These are all such wonderful shots. I would love to see more family pics, including as Nanook mentioned, any showing a young Major Pepperidge. Or would that be a Minor Pepperidge?TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-25862176739746767822017-10-14T18:35:21.465-07:002017-10-14T18:35:21.465-07:00@ Chuck-

Our church used to perform that every year when I was in grade school. <br /><br />And then, of course, your shawl has a <i>secret</i> history that predates you finding it at the Salvation Army. It might have an amazing pedigree. Who knows - it may have even been the Shawl of Iran!Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-60975889769905992302017-10-14T15:43:53.760-07:002017-10-14T15:43:53.760-07:00At first I thought my yellow & orange shawl li...At first I thought my yellow & orange shawl like the one in the picture was the one with the cool story behind it, but now I remember that it's just one I got at the Salvation Army for a production of <i>Amahl and the Night Visitors.</i>Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-8021168668814862232017-10-14T13:02:17.567-07:002017-10-14T13:02:17.567-07:00Scott Lane, it’s been fun going through them!

Martinez, I have heard that the “Arizona” still leaks drops of oil. Hawaii seems so tranquil that it is hard to believe that it was the site of such a terrible attack. I love my grandfather’s photos, but honestly most of them are blurry - many that would be amazing shots are ruined by a slow shutter or a shaky hand.<br /><br />Melissa, the old Kodachrome really captured blues well! I wonder where my Great-Grandma bought that shawl… possibly Mexico! Or Olvera Street, who knows. As for album covers, if you can’t make it to Stonehenge, you might as well go to the Devil’s Postpile.<br /><br />KS, I used to love to hear my Grandmother’s stories of coming to California (from Illinois) when she married my Grandpa in 1929. It sounds like it was a paradise.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-18839552370664361212017-10-14T11:51:27.125-07:002017-10-14T11:51:27.125-07:00A real nice slice of life back in the day Major. ...A real nice slice of life back in the day Major.

I can see individual flyaway hairs on the foreground noggins, and every ripple on the unbelievably blue ocean.<br /><br />2. I have a shawl just like Great-Grandma’s! And Mom is cuter than a button on a rainbow-covered pony!<br /><br />3. This picture would make the best folk rock album cover ever. And what a dramatic haircut mom has had since the previous picture! (I recently had a similar one myself; it's a great feeling.)<br /><br />Thank you for sharing, Maj!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-44377295239677482232017-10-14T08:38:13.628-07:002017-10-14T08:38:13.628-07:00Even though Oahu is like a second home to me, I st...Even though Oahu is like a second home to me, I still find Pearl Harbor very powerful every time I go there. Whenever I drove past the Harbor on my way to my mom's condo or my sisters's house I'd look up at the sky and imagine the horror of that infamous day. When I visited the U.S.S Arizona back in 1973 it was leaking oil. From what I've read, it still does. <br /><br />Devil's Postpile is another awesome place. I love geographic formations. I hope you share more of your grandparents family photos on your blog in the future. These are pretty nice. Your grandfather did a great job. Thanks, Major.K.
