My Dad is a photographer and took these photos of my Mom sometime in the early 70's. These were publicity photos for her acting career.

I'm a Giant Baby!

I'm a Giant Baby!

The story goes like this. I was so fat when I was born that my cheeks pushed up my eyes so I look Asian. When they brought me to my Mom she thought I was the daughter of another woman in the maternity war. Dad tells a story that I was so fat he'd have to straight out my arms to wash them and would find rings of dirt in between my chubby flesh.

I'm super pale so whenever we'd visit my Grampa in Florida they'd slather me with sunscreen. Still I'd always wind up with a burn.  Grampa would put me into a cool tea bath later in the day to take the sting way.

After my parents split up, my Dad moved to Bellevue NJ. He met a wonderful woman there who became my Stepmom. This is a photo at the pool in the complex where they live the first time I met her.

One of my favorite places to visit my Great Aunt. I'd follow her along the beach as she stooped over looking for tiny shells, no bigger than her pinky nail, to give to me.  We had some great times visiting her there over the summer and for Jewish holidays.

My grandfather had a habit of requiring a glass of juice on his plate each morning. This was some special occasion because we are using a tablecloth and the best salt and pepper shakers.
