I do have green eyes, Diana. I stopped growing at the age of 12 at 5' 7 1/2" and about 98 pounds. I got my weight up to healthy at age 14 and stayed there for years. My hair was medium-light brown as a child and darkened to dark brown. Very straight with a pair of cowlicks in the front. Now I am mostly gray, a little over-weight and gravity has taken its toll.

TINA, those are the first and only pics I've ever seen of you! You were so pretty, and I'm sure you are still just as pretty--gray hair, gravity, and all. It's so cool to actually see pictures of you!
Now I just want to see a more recent picture. :wink: There has to be one around there somewhere.
I really don't think so, Loz. I avoid cameras well. I really need to get a decent pic of me though so someday when my kids want one (like for my funeral) they will have one. If/when i get one, I will share it here as well.

You are very welcome. Don't know how I thought of it but all of a sudden Chilicoot Charlies just popped into my head. I LOVE it when my brain clicks in - just doesn't seem to happen much anymore so I REALLY get excited. That birthday was the only time I was ever at Chilicoots or Anchorage. Fun memories! Guess I should dig out an old picture. I have one somewhere out past Fairbanks where they had a huge stuffed moose in front of this restaurant we use to go to and my sister in law and I were kissing the moose. I think it was about 33 years ago. I'll have to see if I can find it!

Raingardener - what year were you in Alaska? I was there from June 1977 - August 1978. Took one trip up to Fairbanks when my parents and sister came to visit me.
I was offered a job to teach Head Start way up in the bush - would have had to go in a 2 seater plane - UH, UHHH!!! Don't like flying in a large plane so I wasn't going to do that! Besides... I didn't want to live in the middle of nowhere - I need lots of people around me!
By the way... I sent an email to Chilkoot Charlies asking them about the place in Girdwood - sent it about a week ago and have not gotten a response.
plants 'n' pots I was in Fairbanks from around 1971 to 1976 or so. I also lived in Southeast Alaska in Petersburg before that - around 1967 or so for a couple of years. After 1976 I flew back to WA State and have never been back. Brrrrrr Fairbanks was soooooooooo cold. Although with all the rain in this state I sometimes think it's colder because Fairbanks was so dry. It was a really fun time but guess I'm here to stay. My husband and I were just talking about how I had beautiful houseplants in Fairbanks - one which was a fern in that dry country and I can't grow one here inside for anything. I've killed quite a few of them. I just don't understand that. LOL O'well! I do much better outside with my flowers.

OH MY GOODNESS Shirley - you were so skinny in that second picture!!! Where were they taken?
Raingardener - I never made it down to southeast Alaska - I'm not much of a flyer, and didn't really have occassion to go there anyway, but I would have loved to have seen it.
I wish I was 115 !!!!! But I got down from 150 to 135 so I guess I should be happy. I'm trying for 130 or 125, though, then I will be content. I know I will never see the LOW 100's again!!!!
So far this is the only picture of me I've found and it was in Johnny's wallet that I washed last night so we had to take everything out of it. Interestingly, this old picture made it through. The newer pictures of the grand children now have all the picture washed off. Sometimes old is better. I don't know if it will show up here but I'm trying.
