This is a picture of my parents at the junior prom in Cowley, Wyoming in 1946. They have been together for almost 60 years now.

This is one of my favorite pictures ever. It is my grandmother Hope Ballard Eyre. She was a crack shot and would hunt rabbits to help feed the family in Cowley, Wyoming.
I have had so much fun going over all my old photos. I realize what a grand heritage I have in both my parents and grandparents. This is my Mom (Leta Eyre) at her 8th grade graduation. She's so cute.

There is a kid, well he's a man now, from my hometown that is hosting a site for the people of Cowley, Wyoming. Thanks Gib Fisher. He asked me to upload pictures and scan my annuals. I have done this and came across this picture of one of my elementary pictures. Can you tell which one is me? I'm in the back row in the center. I started out tall and ended up at 5'7" by junior high.


Look how things have changed in the world. Wayne and his friends are at school wearing real guns with real ammo. Nobody even gave it a thought that they might shoot someone. Now you can't even bring a toy gun to school. I sometimes wish for those more innocent times.
