Blast from the past

Posted in:


My mom’s been sending around photos of her sons lately.

This one is of my brother Denny (on the left) and myself from the ’70s. The pic was taken at my grandad’s farm in Iroquois County.

Not sure why I’m posting it other than I’ve always kinda liked this photo and it lifted me out of my crushing fatigue and put a smile on my face. Thanks, Mom.

Denny is now a vintage clothing dealer in California.

All of my brothers have interesting jobs. One is a newspaper owner in southern Illinois. Another is a Texas construction estimator, an investor in some strange but profitable things (like oil wells) and a Republican politico. And another is a Northwest Illinois computer programming wizard and Internet entrepreneur.

  2. You were cute as a kid.
    I don’t know what happened when you got older.
    But you do have a face for radio or internet blogs.

    And you have a nice mom.

  5. Has anyone else noticed the kids running around with the exact hair styles today? Some things weren’t supposed to come back into fashion.

    Not that it’s a bad picture, Rich. All the kids in my family are from the same age group so I can relate. Wow. Thank God my mom doesn’t know how to scan and post on the ‘net.
