Only one of these is labeled: the shot looking over someone’s shoulder at the sea: “One side of corridor.” Not really sure what that even means. It would be great to attach these somehow to the letters that they surely came with. Maybe someday.

Neptune’s Orders
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.
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.
Old Photos of the Watts Family
At left, Aunt Gladys Watts Waddell, center is a photo labeled Joe (Uncle Joe Watts) operating the radio, and at right Clark Watts, photo labeled “How do you like this of me and my girlfriend.”
More to come…
