Halloween Brothers: 1958

This is me and my brothers with our cocker spaniel Cyndy, October 1958, Bedford, Quebec. Dad liked a  perfectly staged shot, and I'm glad he did. View full size.

Another beautiful picture from times gone by.

I date from that era, too. Like you and your brothers, I had leather shoes that I wore even with shorts, jeans and other casual clothes. I was only about 3 in 1958, and there are pictures of me looking quite awkward in those clodhoppers.

It's much easier to "muck about" like the Brits would say, with more suitable shoes like PF Flyers, which I wore and loved. My parents seemed to realize that leather shoes were not the ideal footwear for growing and rambunctious boys. Gradually, the leather shoes vanished and the sneakers took over!

Thanks for your great contributions to this site.
