1960s 1970s 1980s photos

Elizabethtown as seen from the airplane (we were coming home from California), September 1985.
This is the intersection of US Highway 50 and Lawrenceburg Road.  In the background is Interstate 275.

Hooven as I shot from the airplane in September 1985.   It's easy to identify the old Gulf Oil tanks.
This is the intersection of US Highway 50 and State Route 128.  Upper left is the Kilby Road exit of Interstate 275.

Turf Lane in Bridgetown, looking west, on Jan. 27, 1978, the day after THE BLIZZARD.
Many of those piles are not shoveled snow but rather snowdrifts.

Summer 1967, our back yard on Turf Lane, looking west toward Westwood-Northern Boulevard.
We had moved in on May 1.  Left to right are Larry Snyder (back of head),
my sister Joan (you can see her backside), my sister Barb, Ronda Snyder and me.
The Snyders and we had two of the first houses on the street.

A blow-up of the view of Westwood-Northern.
My First Communion, April 13, 1969, the back yard of our house on the south side of Turf Lane, looking west.
As usual, I am squinting.
This next topic isn't doll-related.  I'm posting some photos here for someone else to look at.  You can laugh if you want--I'm quite aware I was homely and geeky even as a little girl.
