The Preview.
Dad had put a collage of pictures on the inside cover... There seems to be no specific order to them.
Here are the individual images at their actual sizes... Mom's twin sisters: Tante Lia has the curly hair (on the right...), and Tanta Tini is beside her in the pale coloured slacks (on the left...)!!
The whole crew! You can tell the younsters: they have the long hair. ...the girls have the really long hair!
R.J. & Marion. That's R.J. on the left.
R.J. and their dog, Sheba, still a puppy. (Thanks for puppy naming help, Marion!) That's R.J. on the left...
More R.J. Looks like Doreen's couch?
And now P.J. That looks like Mom's living room carpet in the background.
Marion, in her "early cat-lady" phase with Rusty! "Where's the rest of them?"
Issa Caldarullo (left), Marion (right), and Jennifer Dodsworth, the cute red-head in the middle. (The blonde and the brunette are cute, too...)
(update) According to both Mom and Doreen, Jennifer has moved back to Port Alberni, and took over the Jowsey's store from her parents, which is where John recently bought some beds, etc!
Tante Lia packing her suitcase. Or, maybe it's Tante Tini checking for more curlers in her suitcase?
Mom looking cheerful... Hey, it's Christmas! Maybe she didn't get everything she wanted? ...and that looks like P.J., with Doreen in red behind him.
The cheerleaders practicing! They are on the hill that goes up to the playing field at Glenwood Elementary.
Marion on the left, and Issa Caldarullo near the middle in the blue and white striped shirt.
The "new" Plymouth Fury! Wow! ...a V-8 in the family, at last! All 318 cubic inches! Mom will be so happy, such an improvement on the VW van! See how fast it is!
Can you see who's playing lawn darts in the background?
