Old Christmas Photo's

[Ozark Tracker]

I was lookin through pictures last night, this is the oldest Christmas Picture I could find of myself

Christmas 1952,  I'd be the little one in front.      The others are my Cousins,  my Dad's Sisters kids.

    I think I've got about 3 or 4 color pictures from that day,  they were taken by an Uncle,  don't know where he came up with color film,  all the other pictures I have are black and white until sometime up in the late 60's when a few color pictures start showing up.

this one was taken the same day, out lookin at Grandpa's cows,  he had just changed over from Herfords to Angus,  all that herd was registered Angus

[Ozark Tracker]

This was him on his horse Tony,  with one of the herds he had before the Angus,  this one was taken in the 40's sometime

OT, I like them boots. I always got a new pair every Christmas until I was out of high school.

I'll dig some up.  Dad has all ma little squirt pitchers, but there's some fairly old ones layin around here.  If I'm lucky I'll find em by New Years.

Tex, them red boots was the very first pair of walkin boots I had, my Mom kept em around forever,  they may still be in here in some of her stuff we kept.  my Grandpa bought em for me down at the Bully  Good Saddle shop in Muskogee,  I don't know how many pairs of em he bought me but  I had em evertime my shoe size changed.   if you'll notice my coat is as close to what his looked like as he could find.     I was named after him, so it was always Bill & little Bill,  people who knew me all my life called me that for years after Grandpa had passed on.

OT, I was always known as Little Jim, because Dad's business partner had a son named Jim also. He is about 5 years older than I am.  I came home for a visit after I moved to Dallas, I had been working out and I was up to about 210. We ran into the other Jim and my Dad said " I don't think we can call him Little Jim anymore" and they didn't.

Maw's got all the old pictures.  I probably wouldn't want to share them anyway.  If I were my dad, I would have revoked all dressing privileges early on.

Guess I got lucky in that department.  My first suit fer pitchers was all denim.     Can't find the derned things anywhere (the pitchers not the clothes).  I think one of ma ex's has em er burned em er whatever.

My Dad wasn't into takin' still camera pictures. He had an 8 mm camera that he took movies of all our trips and vacations. I don't have any old pictures at all.

Did someone say denim?

Here's my grandmother and father at Christmas somewhere around 1976.  My father worked for Levi Strauss.  Can you guess who made his suit?

I had one of those when my brother got married the first time, but I think it came from Sears.

I didn't have one of those Denim suits, but I sure had a lot of those polyester leisure suits!
