Circa 1985 Interview with Michelle Heilman and Jeff Brown
Probably taken at my birthday party in July 1985, so that would have been between my junior and senior years of high school. Michelle had probably just graduated as she was a year ahead of me. Jeff is his usual contrived, macho self making a homophobic remark to me (yawn) — but the wannabe bully showed up to my birthday party, after all. My sister then proceeds in another distorted clip to do the same to my little brother, who takes it in stride.
My favorite picture with Dad
I don’t know where we were living at the time, but I suspect this was while we were visiting Italy in the 1970’s.
Circa 1976 Mom and Dad on base at the Loran Station in Estartit, Catalonia, Spain
US Classmates in Estartit, Catalonia, Spain
There were very few military brats (American kids) in the area (all our fathers were in the Coast Guard), so shortly after this picture was taken (I’m obviously the one in the middle) I was then home-schooled with a U.S. government correspondence course until we moved back to the States. I often wonder what the Spanish thought of us celebrating the Bicentennial that July 1976!
By an incredible coincidence, in 2014, the girl in the red dress above, Marlene Kurkierewicz (Houtz), was discovered to be in this picture by her daughter, Melissa Lee Gagnon. They reached out to me on social media to identify her. Now the challenge is to find out who the blonde girl is!
