Back to Karl... January 1970...his blessing day....Gma Dorothy knit his little white suit and booties.(Grandma Janiece made me the leopard pillows)...this was in our apartment on McAllister St. in San Francisco where we lived while Dad was in dental school (and I was teaching at Woodrow Wilson Jr. High in Oakland)

This is Karl's 2nd birthday...I made him an elephant cake...Dad and I both have lots more hair than we do now!This is in the kitchen of the McAllister St. apartment.
Here's Karl, about 31/2, in the cute German clothes Dad got in a box of stuff from a postal auction.
