For week 12 of my 52 years celebration, another photo from the 1970s, of me, my brother Neville, and our mother having fun on a backyard water slide. (I have very few pictures of myself as a tween/teenager, so I’m using these older pics.) #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week/year 16 of my 52 years celebration, from 1986: my high school (college in NZ terms) form room photo. I’m in the blue sweatshirt in the center, with my best friend Donald next to me with his eyes closed. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week/year 17 of my 52 years celebration, from 1987: the entire Form 7 of my college (or in US terms, the senior class of high school). I’m in the center of the second-from-top row, wearing my “Head Librarian” badge. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
