On the beach in Cape May, not far from the house we rented: Summer, 1986. I may still have this same beach chair after all these years.
This was earlier (than the previous picture) in the year, 1982 - in Cape May, New Jersey. with Megan taking a bike ride with Wendy. This may have been the summer when we rented the biggest house we could find in Cape May for a week or two.
On the shore of Lake Kezar, the summer of 1982. Left to right: Nick, Megan, Wendy, Emily, Carly, Harvey, Jean, Fred and Charles.
Alice, Charles and Jean standing near the corner of Front and Pemberton Streets in Queen Village. Jean is holding a child's life jacket, most likely Carly's, then age 5.
This picture was taken at Jean and Harvey's apartment a few weeks after Carly was born (January, 1977) - Jean, Gretchen, Carly, Charles and Emily.
In the living room at 7620 Lafayette Avenue, Jean with Stuart Meyers - same party, 1974. Everyone was wearing name tags!
Taken at the same party in 1974, Alice Harris on the front porch at 7620 Lafayette Avenue, most likely saying something like, "Don't take my picture again!"
Taken in the living room, 7620 Lafayette Avenue, in the spring or summer of 1974, possibly a "meet and greet" kind of party a year before Jean and Harvey were married (that was September, 1975).
Sitting at the picnic table next to Jean, wearing a red coat, is Edith Levi. The man standing off to the left, near the cars, is Frank D. Levi, Sr. Most likely, this spot is somewhere in the vicinity of Palm Beach.
Our family's house in Melrose Park - in a picture taken in 1970. Our parents bought the housein 1948 and Jean lived here until the mid-seventies. When she married Harvey Steinhart, Jean sold the house and moved to his apartment at the Wyncote House.
Jean took this picture of me following commencement at Penn State, June 1969. This was a very emotional day for me and Jean - we knew my father would have been proud of me today. The location is Penn State's football field, Beaver Stadium, which was much smaller (capacity 40,000) then than it is today (100,000).
Gretchen, Jean and Charles, sitting on a bench near the Penn State Creamery. Most likely, this was June, 1969, around the time of commencement. The watch I'm wearing was a birthday gift gift from my parents, in 1968, which they bought in St. Thomas. I still have the watch, and it still works, kind of. And the Penn State Creamery still makes the world's best ice cream.
When he got "semi-dressed up," Harold wore a bolo, like the one seen here. From left to right, Charles, Alice, Harold and Jean. It looks like I'm wearing cargo shorts. It's possible this picture was taken in the back yard in Melrose Park.
My father took this picture on a Sunday, the only day staff members at Camp Kabeyun wore "whites." During the summer of 1967, I came down with a unspecified liver infection, caused by taking butazolodin. I remember my parents visiting me that summer, after I was released from the Lakes Region General Hospital. In any event, here I am with Jean at the Woodchuck's dock, it's a beautiful day and you can see the camp's Chris Craft runabout parked under the roof of the boat dock.
At Wheaton College commencement, 1967, an unidentified man performs a magic trick behind Wendy's diploma, with Jean and Fred watching. Amazing how much my daughter, Emily, looks like Wendy at this young age. And how about that Zebra-looking dress off to the right? Very fashionable for Norton, Massachusetts in 1967.
Wendy's graduation from Wheaton College, 1967. Although Jean and Charlie were there, I was taking final exams at Penn State and not attending Wendy's graduation. My father, who took this picture, died a year later.
Wendy, at age 15, shows perfect posture, as does the horse, age unknown, in a picture dating back to 1960 that our father took at Camp Walden in Denmark, Maine. Wendy says this was her favorite horse at Walden, named "Tony."
