A stroll down memory lane:

 

 
 

 

 

  This is Phil's Grandmother, Harriet Fox, and two of her elder children, perhaps Seldon and Dallas.  Seldon was born in 1905, so this picture will soon be 100 years old.

  

This is Cindy's Grandfather, William Poland. 
It's not clear what the occasion is.
 

This is the most complete picture I've seen of the Fox siblings.  L-to-R: Glayden, Bill, Clyde, Dewey, and Seldon standing; Edna, Trula, Bonnie, Beulah, Eula, and Virginia (V.O. to family members).  Ruby and Dallas aren't here.  Bonnie, the youngest, died in 1972, so I'm guessing this was from the mid- or late 60's.  Yes, it's the same Seldon shown in the picture above.

  

These folks are Phil's dad, Phil, and Phil's cousin (Sylvia).  We're in front of the apartment we lived in on Lambert in Detroit.  The paint on the sidewalk came from a can I thought sure was empty. 
 

Phil's dad, Phil, and Mike, a year or two later, probably at Easter.  The building at the right is ours and you can see our windows in the picture.

The Poland siblings enjoy a good book.   

  On Long Island Sound?  

Cindy and Rusty at Rabbit Apple Hill.   

  The Polands swim at RAH.    

 

 
  Cindy tries her hand at the plow.  The horse and garden belong to Phil's Uncle Roland.  This is a mid-70's picture.  

This is where we first lived on Long Island, in the semi-quaint town of Sound Beach.  The house belonged to a NYC carpenter who came there during the summer and rented it to students during the school year.  Judging by the flowering trees, this would be spring of 1976.  The car is Phil's 1972 Chevy Vega.   

 
  In 1976, Phil had a summer job at Kitt Peak in Tucson.  A bunch of the grad students went hiking here and there.  This is Chiricahua National Monument, in extreme SE Arizona.  

On the way back from Kitt Peak to Stony Brook, we hiked down into the Grand Canyon.  Here, Cindy pauses on the bridge across the Colorado River at the foot of Bright Angel Trail.  The trail is 8 miles long and climbs 4400 feet.  On this aerial photo, you can see two bridges across the Colorado and Bright Angel Creek entering from the North.  Cindy is standing on the western bridge.  We crossed both, however, one on the way down the Kaibab Trail and one on the way up Bright Angel.
  After the Grand Canyon, we met up with Jim Lewis in Arches NP in eastern Utah.  

Continuing that trip, we went to Yellowstone.  
  Somewhere in the Sonoran Desert.  Unfortunately, the original photo is slightly out of focus.

  Much later, Cindy indulges Greg's desire to see inside the tree.  This is at Phil's cousin's home near Toledo.  

Phil holds a squirming Greg at
 the Fox Reunion in 1990.  
  Here's Rabbit Apple Lane in the mid-sixties, when the Polands had just moved to Michigan.  Dana on the way to school?  

More-or-less the same spot in 1991, with
Rob and Greg on the way to school.  
 

  This is Rob in Fairfield, when he was on a team called the Bears.  This was just before we left for Athens.  All the teams in this league were named after football teams.  I was told that MLB wanted $ from kids' leagues that named their teams after major league teams.  I was skeptical then and I'm skeptical now.  [Added 1-7-07]

    

 
 

  Here's Greg as a Brown, his first baseball team.  He's unhappy because it was bitterly cold that day.  Greg was the only kid on the team that wanted to pose with a ball and glove instead of a bat.  The photographer kept him until last.  Wouldn't you think they'd give brown uniforms to the Browns?[Added 1-7-07]

  

Here's the back of Greg's baseball
card. [Added 1-7-07]
