Essex Steam Train, August 1979 (Age 3)

Summer 1979, I'm guessing August based on the order of photos in the original album. Here's Jene with her pal Shaunee, and me with a "walking" Mickey Mouse doll that I still have. This must be Old Saybrook, Connecticut, where my grandpa and grandma had their cottage, because we're about to go to nearby Essex.

Me with Mickey and two more friends. Still in pajamas, but soon it was off to the train.

The Essex Steam Train, with my grandpa and Jene, all of us in the middle window.

Mom the photographer has now joined us on the train. The modern version of this train started in 1971 and is still operating today. Along with...

...a steamboat. I seem to know something's up with Dahmer over there.
