The Lost Pictures

A camera malfunction back in the late 70's resulted in the loss of Kloyd's baby pictures. Imagine my joy when Toni's pictures of my kids from that era were given to me! ALAS, my joy was short-lived, Kloyd didn't get to see the pictures before they were borrowed and then misplaced for three years. Finally the pictures were re-discovered and returned. I left them out where they would be available to show, but after much patience and missed opportunities, I finally put them in a SAFE place before they disappeared again. But they did-disappear that is-for another long period of time. "Safe place" is akin to "black-hole" for me. Recently discovered, the pictures were in, of all places, a photo album. Imagine that! I forgot I even had the album. Anyway-to cut a long story short, here are the pictures. Sorry Travis and Tyler, you weren't here yet.
