I love reading your stories Richard.
It feels like I'm right there while you were growing up and I can certainly concur with the info and many experiences and feelings that you went through.
I'm Happy that you were able to get written info from your Mom's notes about specific things that occurred in her lifetime.
You were a Terrible Brother.
Just kidding.
I laughed about the powder incident. Boys!
My Son took the baby powder and poured it into our aquarium when he was 4. You can imagine that all the fish were wondering why it got so foggy all of a sudden. They survived. I'm Glad that he didn't pour it in his Baby Sister's eyes, for sure.
Please do not remove those pictures. That's just the right amount. I love bio's with pictures so we can see who the book is about, how they changes, things they used, and the situations and their expressions. You were a Really cutie by the way.
