Cynthia gave this work of art to me at a young age. Over the years it has become a prized possession. It was a gift from her father to her - and it was given to her father by one of his patients who had schizophrenia. Signed "V. Starzyk '70"

Good times at Leah & Mike's home by the lake in Wisconsin. The guys were always going "to the store for bait." Come to find out they were going to the local bar for a beer!
I will always remember when I went shopping with Cindy, Missy, and Leah looking for taupe shoes.
Doesn't everyone have a bathtub photo!?
Here is evidence that Mom's haircutting skills (note Cindy's bangs!) were questionable! Cyn doesn't seem to mind. (Leah and I didn't either!)
Leah joined us in November 1957!

Spring 1956, in front of our first home, 2476 Edgcumbe Rd, a "new development" in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. Ten homes with lots of young children and a large wooded area and hill for exploring. The best place to grow up! Cindy was one of the oldest kids and babysat much of the neighborhood!
