H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Fri, Jul 15, 2005 11:39 AM My maternal grandparents, from last year. We were celebrating my grandfather's 80th birthday, and my brother told them this was how to say "I love you" in sign language. Now, my paternal grandparents, that's where the fun is at. My family has four or five boxes of slides documenting their travels as a military officer's family -- in the '50s they lived all over -- France, Japan, Texas, Wyoming, Washington, Southern California. They went to Opening Day at Disneyland 50 years ago, but I'm not getting my hopes up for pictures of that. I haven't seen the slides myself yet, but I'm working on getting them copied, I'm sure there are some real gems in there.

This is my grandparents at a Lipton Tea function at the Hawaiian Room in NYC in the 1950s. My grandparents are in the very back. Grandma is looking off to her left with the black V-neck, Grandpa is to her right with bamboo coming down between them.

I have those same Fu Dogs on the top of my TV. Really? I've been trying to find out what is the story behind them - because they gave them to us for Christmas several years ago, and my parents claim that they were given to my Grandparents in the 40s by some missonaries just back from the far East.... I never really got the story, both of them passed away last year.... Are yours exactly the the same? Or just similar?

My wife got the from her grandparent too.

I came across these luau photos of them in happier/healthier times... The group photo... I wonder why the majority of the men are all wearing the same aloha shirt? Nana is seated in the very right hand side in the front, Pop is on the very far left side... Pop doing the hula w/some of their friends... ... we'll miss you Nan...
