I CONTINUE TO go through old photos and came across images of my grandfather, my father, and myself. All taken on the beach. The photo of my grandfather was taken around 1921. My mother took the photo of my father in the summer of 1948. Both those photos were taken on Coney Island in Brooklyn. The one of me was at Oyster Bay, Long Island, in 1960. We had moved up in the world. Four years later, we were back at Coney Island. I know! It’s almost impossible to tell us apart. HINT: I’m the one in the baggy boxer shorts.

SIGO REVISANDO FOTOS antiguas y encontré imágenes de mi abuelo, mi padre, y yo. Todas fueron tomadas en la playa. La foto de mi abuelo fue tomada alrededor de 1921. Mi madre tomó la foto de mi padre en el verano de 1948. Ambas fotos estaban en Coney Island en Brooklyn. La foto de mí estaba en Oyster Bay, Long Island, en 1960. Habíamos ascendido en el mundo. Cuatro años más tarde, estábamos de vuelta en Coney Island. ¡Yo sé! Es casi imposible distinguirnos. PISTA: Soy el de los calzoncillos holgados.
Boy, you look so much like your father! I’m assuming he’s the one in the middle. I don’t know what color swim trunks he’s wearing, but in black and white, he looks like a nekkid Ken doll 🙂 You were such a cutie! You still are, by the way.
Deedles,
I always look so happy in childhood photos. I wasn’t a happy kid. Must have been gas! I don’t know what color those trunks were either. But your description is perfect.
Three fine figures of men!
Debra,
Two and a half. I WAS only 6.
You need to put an adult photo up against the other 2 – you do all look very similar!
Cheapchick,
Oh, you know what I look like now. Wouldn’t want to break the web with a swimsuit edition.
Good to know where you come from! And these photos prove that! Good looking men/boy.
Not too SKINNY?! Suppose you got that a lot. I know I did….my sibs called me ‘Bag of Bones’ for years.
Jim,
I STILL hate the word “skinny.”
The resemblance is uncanny! I also like how each generation gets progressively svelte
Tynan,
And taller! My grandfather was under 5’6”. My father 5’9”.
Smilin’ Mitch always ready for Coney Island I trust!
Ron,
Although I was never really at home in Brooklyn, I did love being able to walk to the beach whenever I wanted from the age of 11 on. Will be back in Coney Island with Chuck in September! Maybe I should have him take a picture of me walking out of the water. I’m sure I have my father’s old bathing suit somewhere (no I don’t).
Cute but no fair… we need that svelte young hunk that seduced a totally unawares San G???? Yah know what I’m saying fella?
Willym,
Not ready for Prime Time.
Now we know where you got the looks from.
David,
My father was a really handsome man. I always wanted to look like him. I simply resemble him! Oh well.
Very cool to see all,three generations like that.
And I’m’a just say this, Dad was a looker!
Bob,
Yeah, my father was a very popular guy.
Awww, you look so cute! (And, yes, your dad’s photo looked absolutely like a nekkid Ken doll on first glance–ha! )
Judy,
Deedles’s description was perfect.
Just looking at the suits, it’s obvious your father swam through much more liberated times than your father.
Kirk,
Yep father to grandfather. Very different.
