Golden Krust Bakery

Found these pictures in my parents photo album.  I have no idea who the people are.  Thought others would get a kick out of seeing them.

Private Leo C. Ziv: 1917

Fort Dix, 1917. That's my 5'2" grandfather prior to being shipped over to France as part of the Allied Expedition Force. 

While there, he won a boxing medal and was subsequently caught in a mustard gas attack. He lived for another 52 years with seared lungs and had to expectorate into the ever-present paper sack that he carried with him.

Hottest Slots in Town

On a road trip in 1977 I visited Las Vegas and stayed for one night. I don't gamble, so I took Kodachrome slides of the incredible neon signs and watched the passing parade of people. This sign was all in motion, with sequencing lights making the fire hose appear to be spraying water to cool down the overheated slot machines.

The VIPs

Not sure who these people are, the cruise ship has me guessing somewhere tropical that was a former British colony.

Grandma

I don't know where she got these ideas from, it seems to run in that side of the family.

The Tree House

My brother and the neighbors helping construct our custom tree house.  Lumber was expensive back then but we were thrifty and got the job done under budget!

Snack Time

My brother feeding his bear.  I guess this bear likes his meals through his nose for some odd reason.

The First Car I Bought: 1965

A 1963 Ford convertible. 3-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive, 352-cubic inch engine. The paint was metallic teal, which doesn't show up well in this Ektachrome slide I developed in my folks' kitchen sink. Did thousands of those. This was taken at Meramec State Park, near Sullivan, MO, I think. Almost as soon as I bought this car, I got drafted, so the guy I bought it from took it off my hands & sold it again. He was a prince. This was in an age where, as they say, hearts were light and cars were heavy.
