Who remembers the old school gym?

This is how the old Navarro School Basketball Gym looked in late 1950s when my Dad purchased it from the school district.  A few years later, my Dad and my Uncle Walter tore down the front section, Soon after that Dad added a red tile honey extracting house where the front section of the gym had been. After Dad and Mom moved a house to this location in 1961, we claimed to be the only kids in Texas that had their own basketball gym in there backyard. I don't know if that was really true, but it made a good story.

Sharing Old Family Photos

Uncle Dennis Ayo recently sent me a bunch of old family photos from 40s, 50s and 60s.  Some of them were completely new to me.  Thanks Dennis for sharing these priceless artifacts.

The photos that were new to me:

Tim and I in the same baby bed 

We sure were a skinny bunch - Dad was about 42 years old

Mom was about 19 years old in this photo taken by street photographer in Lake Charles in late 40s

Dad -The photo is date stamped 1960 and the note on the back says  
that this is the trailer house where we use to live.  I have no clue about this.

1952 - Tommy seems to be ok with that pig but I look kind of scared of it.
Tommy's shirt looks familiar, I think because I wore it after it got handed down to me.
Anybody know the name of this pig - Is it a 50s Porky Pig?
