It's so peaceful around here now that the kids are back in school. One of our neighbors has a child that screeches like it's the end of the world and I'm happy she's now screeching elsewhere.
I'm thinking this must be a school photo.
Summer Term 1937 is written on reverse but doesn't say where! Unusual to see all the signatures on the front of the photo.
One out of seven (8, where is that self-timer thing again?), maybe next year one of the young people can take the photo with their iPhone.
Here's the group photo. I apologize to the people on the right. I tried sharpening as much as possible in Photoshop. What a wonderful time and a beautiful day!
Bluevine Capital posed for this group photo in the Palo Alto Headquarters.

Jeezum. Came across the wedding album last night. The first one, that is. I'd forgotten that it had devolved to me. This is scanned from a print, of course, negatives being retained by the photographer, and was taken at the evening "do". There was no getting out of it. It was a warm night in June 1986. Shiny foreheads much in evidence.
Smiling pleasantly at the end of the front row is the bride's mother, then my sister, niece and the bride's grandmothers. The middle row was basically the bride's circle of friends: Doug and ...what was her name? Sandra? then Marcus and "Kar"(en). They subsequently married and their son currently shares "uni" digs with our youngest. Marcus I remember as a virtuoso of Bristol accent and dialect, which came naturally to him as a Bristolian, but which he could "put on". He was a particular master of the complexities associated with that famous local characteristic, the L added to terminal short vowels ...by no means a simple matter. Bride at right.
Standing left is the bride's late father, a nice man whom I liked. The rest of those at the back are me and my lot. The yellow shirt, with some sort of label or "logo" worn externally at the breast pocket, was probably associated with the bride's campaign to modernise my appearance. Next to me is Phillip Flook, usually known simply as "Flooky", but also as "Splodge". I think he had started working on the buses in 1969 and retired only a few months ago. He had an inexhaustible repertoire of yarns about the early days, mostly concerning the 28s and 84s. There was the regular passenger on the 28s, obviously not quite "all there" who, when given his ticket, would apply it to the tip of his tongue and then stick it to his forehead. The 28s were then operated by dual-door REs and it was this man's practice to rest his hindquarters on the top of the luggage pen, which was opposite the exit door, while he waited to alight. Finding the road lined with parked cars on either side of the bus stop at Shirehampton Green one day, Flooky had to cut in a bit sharp to get to the kerb. There was a devastating crash and, glancing up into the interior mirror, he saw a pair of shod feet waving in the air. The passenger had toppled over backwards into the luggage pen and had to be freed from among the various folding pushchairs. Another absurd canteen saga concerned dissociative experience during a piece of "grabbing" (voluntary overtime) on the 28s. This had occurred when Flooky had been suffering from a persistant sore throat and bought a bottle of some cough-suppressant syrup such as Veno's. He put the bottle in the pocket of his uniform tunic and took an occasional swig as he was going along. He quite liked the taste too and, by the time he came to do the grabbing, the bottle was empty. As the evening traffic began to build up, Flooky noticed that he didn't seem to mind as much as he might have expected and, by the time he joined the back of the stop-go uphill queue leading to the Cross Hands traffic lights on Bedminster Down, he didn't mind one little bit. Nope. Not at all. Then there were the yarns chronicling his entanglements with women...
I had intended to conclude with an account of my greatest pal on the buses, Arthur Jeremy, the mustachioed figure at the end, but I have exceeded my intentions and this post has grown over-long. It had better wait for another time. The girl was Karen Kitchen, Arthur's current girlfriend. I think she worked in either the travel office or the snacketeria at the bus station.
This is about 60% of my close extended family (aunts, uncles, and cousins. The little kids are mostly second cousins). My family reunions are a week long, so that people can come as they can. My dad has six siblings (all but one are in this photo), and all but one had kids. Most of the cousins are parents now, too. So obviously not everyone can make it on the same day, or even the same weekend.
I showed up for a day. That was enough.
(I'm to the left of the group. The cousin who is into backpacking is in the "My friends are my heroes" t shirt. My dad is to the right of the group, in the red t-shirt.)
Another find from Grandma Taylor's album. This is a mixed group indeed - toffs and oiks, even women! Boaters, bowlers and flat caps! Pinafores and flowers in buttonholes!
