A photo find from my own family - Sandy, Jackie, and a Chair

Amazing.

And you're right, if we assume that life is divided into three parts : young, middle age, old, and if you will live to be 120, then 41 is the 1st year of your middle age.

Years 1-15 really dont count, you are embryo for 95% of us.

16-45, you really take your health for granted. So you dont really start at 1.....you start at 16 or so....16-45 45-80+ each about 30 or so years.

post that comment in about 5 years..

Average lifespan for a male in the United States is about 77-79, so 40's is definitely middle age.

No one is living to 120 Doug........unless you are an Asian lady who's lived her whole life on rice & seaweed.......and collect Dodgers memorabilia.

right but mid 40s.. he is 41 anyone regret anything they did from 1-8 etc.

really the early years we are not self aware..so i guess its technical middle age versus real life middle age...like technical rescession versus real life!

Those snaps are awesome. And your cousin was a beautiful woman back in the day. Definitely some Marissa Tomei action going on there.

Nice pics, but where are the autographs. Lol

[Scott Garner]

Awesome! Thanks for posting these pics!

[doug.goodman]

Edited because my snarky note about age sent us in a weird direction, and I was about to make another one, sincere apologies to the OP.

Those pictures are AMAZING.

First, great story, the pics are still a family treasure, and won't you forever wonder what happened to that Ebbett's Field seat!

Doug, no harm, as I read through the thread you had me doing math on my own age... 41 seems quite young to me at the moment.

Mr. Koufax... he seems gracious there, he looks young, and he chastely has his arm behind her, but isn't putting his hand on her. That pitching arm is safely distanced from her.

Don't you know that lady had determination in chasing down those Dodgers and the ballpark stuff. Roller skates to move the seats; anyone else here ever use a skate board to support a heavy box we were trying to heave around years ago? I did.

Thank you, Dan, for sharing the family history.

Thanks Leon for deeming this front-page worthy And thanks so much to all who posted. I wasn't sure whether others would find this as compelling as I did, but I'm glad that you all have shared my excitement. I'll certainly treasure these and pass on the family stories.

Absolutely amazing pics! I have always thought it was young boys that went to games and pulled off stunts like that - I now have a paradigm shift! The chair on roller skates is a killer! She is/was/probably always be a very beautiful lady.

Thanks for sharing!
