I think i have been searching for these pictures
for they tell a story that even i do not belive sometimes.
getting ready summer of 1957 |
The last picture, i have placed first
for it is just before i ran away,
taking my newly washed tricycle west,
along I 10,
till some kind motorist saw me and brought me to a Brennan's restaurant,
(yes, the same people who sponsered Emrel)
where they fed me ice cream until a sherif brought me home.
I have 2 and about 1/2 years old, when i took my journey.
Running or exploring,
i do not know,
but i took a trek and scared my parents.
Why?
I look happy in these before pictures...

i guess as a kid, it was just our adventurous side that made us wanting to go away, explorer young as you were.
Sounds like you were always a bit of a rebel!
And a cute kid...;)
You look like a young, adorable thrill-seeker! Love the old photos of you, Joey! :)
Obviously you were inspired by Horace Greeley.
wow, the youngest run-away boy I've heard so far -- glad someone found you !

I love it! The adventuresome child : ) We should all embrace ... reawaken ... that adventuresome child in ourselves from time to time. How wonderful you have your photographs to take you back, Joey.
