Here's an obvious first day of school photo from the family archives. Taken on the front porch of the Marshfield parsonage, it shows two sisters with identical book bags and a little brother unencumbered by the cares of the academic world.
I'm on the left and if my figuring is correct, I would be entering first grade. Carla, entering third grade, looks more self assured that I do. And Tim seems happy to be in the photo.
The image is from the scans of my Dad's slides that my sister MB did several years ago. Ephemera to notice: morning glories trained up the side of the porch to the left; the porcelain knob on the black screen door; coleus in the porch box.
We look pretty spiffy and ready to conquer the classrooms at Jefferson School, a few blocks away from the parsonage next to the church in Marshfield, Wisconsin.
