Barb with Dive Master Fernando. Bahamas?
The photos below have been yellowing with age in a cardboard box in our attic. As Barb excavates, I’ll share some of them here.

The photo with John and Evelyn was most likely taken in Kansas City where John’s parents lived. The shot with the horses in the background would have been taken on the Perry family farm near Broseley, Missouri. We’re guessing that last, blurry photo is Baby Steve because it was found with the others. The little bib overalls suggests this might have been taken at the same time as the two on the brick porch.
Horsing around on the front porch

Business Class. The only way to fly.
My brother travels often enough he occasionally gets an upgrade to Business Class. Happily reports he slept 11 of the 13 hour flight back from recent two week China trip. Think Gomer Pyle on Air Force One. Total miles traveled: 19,557
Destin, Florida

Barb mugging for the camera
This photo was way under exposed on the contact sheet and I’ve tried to salvage. Not sure what was going on here except two young people very much in love.

Barb rubs elbows with celebs
If you write a nice check (for a good cause) you get your picture taken with the celebrities. (Barb 2nd from the left; the lady in the middle is Pam, a high school friend).
The artists appearing with Sheryl Crow were pretty much unknown to me. I knew their fathers but haven’t followed their careers. And they play country music. “Redneck Country” in the case of Noll Billings, singer for Blackjack Billy. Looks like David Nail had a #1 song in 2012. They all have wikipedia pages if you’re curious.

I assume it’s damned hard to make it in the music business so it does seem noteworthy that four kids from a small (10,000) town in southeast Missouri managed to do so well.
