Interesting document from World War II relating to my father, Clark Watts. (as usual, just click to make it larger)
Indian Chief from Long Ago
Well, actually March 1962. I can’t really imagine that this is a scene that gets recreated regularly these days. I found it to be culturally interesting, though. Imagine a poor native American dressing up these days and feeding a black bear on a chain with what appears to be a beer bottle.
Who’s the sister in this photo?
The Five Watts Sisters
Well, if anyone ever wondered why I get along with women so well, just take a peek at what I grew up with (these photos were taken, from all I can tell, between 1967-1969).
Left to right: Madeline, Julia, Margaret, Cynthia and Suzanne.
A Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner
Not much to say here. Here’s what we had for lunch today. Apple pie from Whole Foods was dessert–and I’m warming that up now.
Some Recent Design Work
Not much to say today. Getting busy for Thanksgiving. Just picked up several pounds of beautiful, fresh gulf snapper at my favorite fish market–Snapper Grappers.
Here are a couple of things I did a week or so ago. the first, my usual monthly newsletter for the Alabama chapter of the Sierra Club. The other, a cover for a program manual for the Alabama Communities of Excellence.
Photos from the War
Going through old photos is a real adventure. Most aren’t labeled (by most, I mean practically all). Here are three interesting photos. The photos on left show typical war scenes from WWII (one has the inscription: “This is a big gun.”) The other appears to be camp life. Not really sure if this in the European theater or the Pacific. The photo at right is Uncle Bill Watts.
