Fall 1974 | My Life in 35mm #6
Still hungover from that last Walloon Lake post, let’s start off later 1974 with a random picture of Doug:
Walloon Lake 1974 | My Life in 35mm #5
As I mentioned in last week’s post, my parents “got” me in July 1974, and then headed off to Walloon Lake two days later for our annual two-week summer vacation. This year, the typical three-family core was sharing the cottage: Goudies, Bakers, and Dunns.

My fashion choices, though not purely my own, were not always the best:
