The early 70s

I was really amazed to find this photog of Bruce on a camping trip in the batch that Dad put on the CD years ago...

This is the one that surprised me... Sarah Howe, Bruce, Dave Ritchie, Me and Mom on the lower CCHS field. Sarah has red corduroys on and the fad back then was to sew a patch on the rear or something like that.

Sarah had a little brother who was just 4 or 5 at the time... that would make him roughly 38-39 by now.


Going to my Junior Prom, I think. It could be my Senior Prom up on 128 on the way to Crane's. The point is the hair... it must've been the look at the time but I can't swear I didn't just wake up.



Circa 1972-73 in Vermont at a cross country race Phil and I entered. Details are sketchy, but I ended up either hitch hiking to or from home with Pius Mahnig and David Guisanno.



Ahhh, it was President's Day... 1973. The college student and his wanna-be hippie brother.


And then it was 1976 and somehow I graduated with top honors from CCHS, headed to an illustrative four years at Harvard undergrad and Stanford for post graduate... ooops, I guess I was recalling the wrong life!


My hitch hiking buddies...


Thank you for coming to my graduation!
l-r Peter, Anne, Phil, Bruce and Mom

  1. Kern, great photos and great captions! Take me back. Mom looks so young but then we all do. Got a kick out of your hitch hiking buddies, what a trip! Maybe you can lie in bed and begin to recall all the details.
