Tricia's Early Days

This is me as a baby. 1961! I only have a few pictures of my baby years. I am thankful for the ones that have survived. I was about 5 months old. Here I am in the high chair playing with linking toys. Here I am about 7 months old. We were living in the house on Williamsport road, living in the foundation (basement). The upstairs was not finished yet. It was almost finished. This high chair survived all four children. Then my mom even gave it away. She said it was very expensive $40!
Here I am with my mom. We are in Pennsylvania, below us is the Monongahela River. There is a lot of air pollution because of the mill. I remember seeing the sky out there a pinkish orange and smelling an awful smell in the air. It was some mineral perhaps sulfur.
Me and my dad, I think we were at a park. My parents divorced when I was 4. I think I was about 5 here. My dad came to visit us in California.

My First Holy Communion. Don't I look saintly! I was 8 years old.
