Dog Tags

I've got Dad's dog tags. Praise be that he is the one who gave them to me.

Glass Urinal

This in not a wine carafe. It is a urinal we think is from the Long family, from Hagerstown.

John and Emily's Sofa

Robert Marbury Carnochan and Addison Marbury Carnochan watching the Texas Longhorn basketball game.
I wonder if Addison Marbury's great-great-great-great grandfather, Addison Marbury, ever snuggled with his son, Robert Marbury, on their sofa in Southern Maryland?

Baby Mommy

I also have this photo of Mom on the ice pond. It's the ice pond, yes? Who took this picture? My guess is that it's the winter of 1922-23.

What was she thinking?

Baby Daddy

I now have this framed triptych of photos of Dad. But taken when? Maybe he was one? Not yet two, right?

What was he thinking?

Condiment Set

This piece is from the farm.

Sony Walkman

This cassette recorder was a gift to Dad on his 70th birthday in 1988. His six children all chipped in and bought it for him.

Nineteen years later, after I inherited the Walkman, I used it to playback a tape of songs my Dad recorded in the 1940s. The cassette was a gift that Mom gave him for the same birthday.
Play this performance of "Sympathy" from 1947. On the same cassette are performances of "The Lord's Prayer" and "Sweet Little Jesus Boy."

Cane Bottom Chair

One of two that came from the farm.

Oak Desk

This is the oak desk that was in the finished basement next to the door to the garage. It arrived here in Jamaica Plain a good month after it was loaded up in Frederick.
Barbara is putting it to good use.

This is what a Radiola III looked like (see comment below).
