On a family camping trip in 1958. I am the one looking at the camera, age 4.

what was the significance of the neckties?

breakfast josiah (los blue jeans), Saturday, 3 January 2015 20:02 (nine years ago) link

1959 was Oregon's centennial year as a state. The photo was most likely taken on the precise date of the celebration, February 14, 1959.

I wonder if the planners were upset that Alaska and Hawaii had to come along and steal their thunder that year

breakfast josiah (los blue jeans), Saturday, 3 January 2015 20:30 (nine years ago) link

Outside Oregon, I'm sure no one cared, but in Oregon there was plenty of thunder to go around. Button-bursting state pride was the style at the time.

I'm sure it didn't hurt that they had 40 years on Washington

breakfast josiah (los blue jeans), Saturday, 3 January 2015 20:50 (nine years ago) link

sorry, 30 years

breakfast josiah (los blue jeans), Saturday, 3 January 2015 20:51 (nine years ago) link

Well, it was never called the Washington Trail, was it?

Aww Little Aimless was adorbs.

My mum scanned a whole series of pre-75 scans on slides taken by my grandad. Unfortunately 90% of hem look like they were taken at the heart of the sun but I will pick out some that can be looked at without sunglasses.

Probably could have been been in the "lol college" thread as well but whatever. I believe this is 1994 right after I razor-and-foam shaved my head which had previously been some shade of manic panic red.

joygoat, Thursday, 26 February 2015 19:39 (nine years ago) link

Also just remembered that these aren't even cut off pants, but a set of Dickie's coveralls that I cut down into pants and cut holes into which allowed me to thread a shoelace around my waist to serve as a drawstring. Then I cut them down into shorts.

Oh god we would have totally hung out.
