Family Album

Here are some old photos that I scanned.


My father, Amos Drinnon, with a couple of his sisters.

Someone scribbled on his brother at the right.

Us kids over at Grandma's house. Dale is at left, I'm the one with the dog, Dinah is behind me, Dane is next to me, and Linda is next to him.

The dog is named Tippy, and the Teddy Bear was named Albert.

The zoo pictures were taken by Aunt Rosy, and I don't seem to be in very many of them.

Family Album

Here are some pictures of my family. I don't have actual copies of all of them, some of them are pictures my relatives put on the internet. I had these pictures in a yahoo group until recently, I decided to get them back out while I had the chance and put them on this blog.

Grandma Charlotte Huston

Grandma and my mother, whose maiden name was Ruth Huston.

 My father's name was Amos Drinnon, here he is with a couple of his sisters.

The man on the right was one of his brothers, someone scribbled on that part of the picture.

Here I am in high school.

With the Keystone Kops in the movie EIGHT MEN OUT.

Here I am in the background between my aunt Rosie and my brother Dale.

My sister Linda is in front of aunt Rosie and aunt Nancy is in front of her. My sister Dinah is in front of Lind and her kids are in the foreground. Next to Dinah is Brian Lee, in front of Dinah is Angela, next one is Melissa, and in the foreground is Kenny.

Here I am with my brother Dale.

What The Heck Tech

"What the heck Tech" was a sort of a joke I had about Tech high school when I was going there, that was what I called the place.

                                           

It shouldn't happen to a dog, but it happened to me. But even though I tend to regret that I ever went there, I also liked many of the other people there. And I was able to get some old pictures from my high school yearbook, which is online at the Indianapolis library site.

 

 

There I am in the middle row on the far right.

 

 

To the left is my friend Dennis Drew,

 

 

who had red hair.

 

 

I used to think of Drew as being like Archie ( whose last name is Andrews ) and I also used to think of Sylvia Terril as being like Lois Lane ( the way she was in the old comics ) only I don't have any pictures of Sylvia Terril.

 

 

There's me again, just to maintain a sort of a sense of balance to this thing,

 

 

it being my blog.

 

 

Then there are some pictures of pretty girls, since that's what I usually have on the blog anyway.

 

 

 

Cheryl Hale is fourth from the left on the top row and Fredye Hampton is thrid from the left on the next row.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's Cheryl Hale again in another picture from the yearbook.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And there's Fredye Hampton again

 

 

to maintain a sense of balance as I didn't have another picture of her. I could only find the one.

 

 

 

 

Hiromi Goya is someone I photographed myself after graduating from school,

 

 

but the picture was underexposed and so it wasn't any good. Which is too bad, she was a really pretty girl.

 

 

Hiromi is third from the left in the front row in this picture,

 

 

with Cheryl Hale the second from the left.

 

 

 

 

Linda Gasky was another really pretty girl,

 

which helps to brighten up the blog somewhat in spite of it's association with Tech high school.

 

 

 

Sandy Harp had a brother named William,

 

but I don't have a picture of him.

 

 

 

Third and fourth from the left in the middle row are Cecilia and Cynthia Carter,

 

who were also very pretty girls as well as identical twins. Second from the left on the last row is Mike Chapman, but I don't know who the other people are. Tech was a very big school with thousands of students and I didn't know them all.

 

 

 

Top center is Barbara McNeely,

 

 

who wanted to sell me a yearbook. I graduated in the middle of the last year and wasn't around when they finally came out.

 

 

Second from left in the middle row we have another picture of her.

 

 

 

 

 

Third from the left in the front is Paula Malloy 

 

 

 

 

and here she is in a close up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Linda Mills and Becky Grigsby are in this picture

 

 

  I had known them before high school, but don't remember them so much in high school. But I also remember Becky from after graduation.

 

 

 

 

And then we have some cheerleaders.

 

I remember that Cheryl Hale was a cheerleader, but that might have been a different period, she's not shown on this page.

 

 

And here we have some football players.

 

John Kitcoff is third from the left in the front row, I can remember him all the way back to second grade. I think.

                                        And there we have him again in another picture.

 

 

 

Tim Kavanaugh

 

 

was someone I had known in grade school, like John Kitcoff.

 

 

 

 

Dennis Murray at left on top row.

 

 

I was unable to get a good picture of him.

 

 

 

 

 

Cousin Joe at bottom right.

 

 

I was unable to get a good copy and put in the caption separately.

 

I don't remember seeing him at Tech, but like I said it was a very big school.

 

 

 

Cousin Joe in front row, second from left.

 

 

 

Some science teachers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs. McBride, an english teacher.

 

 

Mrs. Goodrum, another English teacher.

 

 

 

Miss Marthin was a Social Studies teacher

 

I thought she was pretty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr. Dudkowsky.

 

They called him "Dud", but I had a teacher I called that before I was in high school.

 

 

 

The cover of the yearbook.

 

 

There is more to reality than what this yearbook shows.

 

 

I can remember people from high school whose pictures I didn't see there, some pretty girls like Kelly Cole, Cheri Dunn, Terri Huffman, and Terry Markle, who I was told later married a man named "Terry" and ended up with the name "Terry Terry". 

 

Which is some consolation.
