“That’s me in brown wide wake corduroy pants with a suit jacket. Brother is on my lap with grandfather and parents looking on intently. Guess they were afraid I was going to drop him or they couldn’t get over my fashion statement.”

Patterns
“This my younger brother and I, taken around 1970, when the Partridge Family was a big hit. The vests were crushed velvet and our hair was plastered with Dippity-do so it would stay in place.”
