1965-1969

This was an amazing opportunity, and I’m glad I got to do it!

Stories and photos from my high school experience

This page shows pictures of John from kindergarten through third grade.

An unlikely camp destination became a huge blessing in my life.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

As we kids got older, our family ventures went further afield.

In 1967 we moved uptown, to the central part of Whittier, into a new house up in the hills on Philadelphia St.

We did a lot of things together as a family in these years.

Mildred Votaw married Walter Jessup in 1966 and he was part of our family for the rest of his life.

Pretty good picture, huh? I had a “butch” haircut like my dad, and a skinny tie like everyone else. Notice how earnest I was; I tended to take everything pretty seriously.

Herb & Mary (Grandpa and Annie to us) traveled a lot during the later 1960s. First they went to Florida to hunt seashells, then later all over the world on freighters.

Good memories of making music while I was in high school, and some recordings from 1970.
