1852-385 has 4 images – a,b,c & d
1926-296 Tall lady on the left is Edna Cunningham, who worked with Mom.
1926-297 Edna is second row middle, with dark headband
1927-HI-360 On his way to the Philippines, Pop was stationed for about 10 months at Hickam Field in Pearl Harbor.
1927-168 Capitol Extension is an ugly pile of granite and little square windows jutting out the back side of the build, towards the East. It’s sort of like a monstrous housing block in Moscow. The West facade is gorgeous, with a wide parkway going all the way the Sacramento River and the Tower (M Street) Bridge. And the Capitol Grounds are beautiful, planted with every species of Camellia that could be found. Which is why Sacramento is called the Camellia City.
1928-PI-290309 Pop is seated second row, his arm around a fellow Anglo. A Philippino has his right arm on Pop’s shoulder
1929-362 Crissy Field was the airstrip on Fort Hamilton, which stretched from Fisherman’s Wharf to Fort Point, under the southern end of the Golden Gate Bridge. All that’s left of it is The Presidio. Crissy Field was closed when the Bridge was built in 1934. The wharf’s are still there: two covered docks between Fisherman’s Wharf and what is now Marina Park and the St Francis Yacht Club.
1930-MF-290311 Most likely a Ford Tri-Motor. We weren’t buying planes from the Dutch, who were selling planes to Germany
1930-50069 Patrick is not in the picture. I wasn’t born for another 4 years.
1931-165 Mom on left, Edna Cunningham in the middle, Verde on the right.
1931-277 Freitas is the correct Portuguese spelling. Freites is Spanish. Nobody says Frates, which sounds like crates, as in barrel.
1931-50018 Picture missing
1931-50083 The Unk. is Edna Cunningham
1931-50084 Angie (?), Edna Mom and Verde
1932-271 Richfield is the name of the gas station. They were all over the west coast, so no telling where this is. Except: Mom is in her wedding dress, so this is probably Woodland, where they were married.
1932-273 Looks like a Dodge radiator cap.
1932-62 Edna Cunningham is behind Verde’s right shoulder. The lady behind Verde’s left shoulder is named (?) Riggs.
1932-50077 I don’t think that’s Mom. She looks too old.
1932-50132 Pop is in the middle, not “Patrick”
1932-50133 Same thing
1932-50134 Same thing
1932-50143 Same thing
1934-50008 Infant Patrick aka Paddy Dale
1940-50110 “Frates” (SP)
1943-290078 Not “Pop”, but Patrick
1947-154 Crissy Field. You might include that the base ran along SF Bay in the Marine District, from Fort Hamilton Piers (Fisherman’s Wharf ) to Ft Point, under the southern end of the Golden Gate bridge. Alcatraz could be seen in the background, if it was hazy the day this picture was taken.
1947-155 The marina in the background is now the St Francis Yacht Club
1947-156 Sure there’s an Alioto’s on Fisherman’s Wharf.
1947-157 Very few restaurant’s owned their own fishing boats. Too expensive to run, and they still had to purchase from the fleet. A couple did, but just for show, claiming their catch was fresher. Hogwash.
1947-158 Detterings was an abandoned ranch at the eastern end of Arden Way, at the south fork of the American River. It seemed remote, so the Boy Scouts camped there two or three times each summer.
1947-159 The Boy Scout Council owned Camp Pollock. It was north of the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers, across the American River from the Jibboom Street hobo jungle where Uncle Henry was in residence when he couldn’t afford a room at the Dixie Hotel.
1951-077 Jan Bush. Cutest girl in the senior class at McClatchey High. And she went out with ME. For a little while. I was a college man; freshman at Sacramento JC
1952-133 Unk. Is Carol Priestly
1952-291 I’m outta here. Off to San Francisco State. I never returned home for very long. I think this is 1953.
1952-294 This picture must be in 1953 or ’54. The caR is 1941 Buick convertible, given to me by Brian Bredberg, the trumpet player in my band. I drove back and forth from Los Angeles Sacramento. On one trip, it died as I drove into the driveway in Los Angeles. Stuck on what to do, Pop and Mom drove up behind me. They had been in Las Vegas and decided to give me a surprise visit. Pop got it running right off. Good Karma! I gave it to one of my roomies when I moved to New York.
1955-44 Patricia and Middy Muenster Larson
1958-030 That’s not a roof. It’s a concrete railing in Riverside Park
1964-C64-290069 Mark & Patricia at Alyce’s at Christmas
1964-C64-290070 Mark & Patricia at Alyce’s at Christmas
1967 MJ 3000 to 1967 MJ 3009 – out of sequence
1968-60002 … covered with siding, but the interior still shows the … hand-shaped logs with chinking between. It had wide plank flooring, over 2′ wide like the barn in New Paltz. The fireplace was huge, a real cooking fireplace with brackets set in the sides to hang cast iron pots over the coals. Russell used it as a bar.
1968-60028-2 Evan with Unk actress
1968-60028a New Paltz Head Shop (out of order- should be in 1972)
1968-60270 Rosemary McNamara
