Photo Day

Part of this effort is to preserve some of the many photos I have collected.  So today is a random group of Phillips family photos.  These probably aren't historically valuable - yet.  But are of interest to the Phillips kids and our kids.  This is sort of like inviting the neighbors to look at my baby pictures.

Looks like Scott got finger paints
on his apron!  Kindergarden.

We lived in Germany in the mid 50s and there was no television.  Dad took up photography and mom took up coloring dad's photos.  It gives a very interesting effect.  This photo of Mark with dad's hat and gloves on is one of the pictures.  This one hasn't been colored.

Betsy's Birthday,
but they spelled her name wrong!

This is another of the pictures taken in
 Germany, but he isn't a Phillips kid

Sue, Eric and Mark,
inside house in Paxton, Illinois

We lived in Paxton, Illinois for a year while dad went to Korea by himself with the Army.  Paxton is the county seat and bigger than many of the farm towns around it.  We bought this house and lived about 30 minutes from mom's mom.  We had lived in New Jersey for two years, I was a high school freshman and dad was leaving for a year.  I had a rough year.  We all did.
