1.5, sitting on back porch playing with a truck.  Other one is from a year later when a police officer, finding me half a mile from my house playing in another yard, asked me what my name was and I responded 'Frog'.  Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Filling up my Dad's 57 Plymouth with a waterhose playing Gas Station. 1964 and I'll never forget it.

my earliest verified memory was around 3 years old.  there was that wonderful smell of fresh lumber - my dad was building our house.  i was very frustrated and making a fuss because there was a 55 gallon drum and i couldn't see what was inside, and i really really badly wanted to look inside of it, but i was too small.   my dad picked me up and held me over the drum so i could look inside.  it was half full of rain water.  my dad said that i thought there was a fish in there.

Strange but I can have my Mom back me to this day-  she asked me as a joke when I was a toddler what I remembered- I told her, being 'scrunched', in red, warm and it was loud. Characteristics of the womb. I was 4.  No recall these days but if I remembered back then, well that's pretty cool.

I actually remember a year or so before the "fill up" incident. I couldn't have been more than a year or so old. Me, Mom and my two sisters were moving from Archer City, Texas to North Platte, Nebraska. We were dirt poor and spent the night along the way camping in roadside parks. I remember taking a "shower" one chilly morning standing in a dishpan while Mom poured a pitcher of water on me.
Man that was COLD water let me tell you. I slept in the back window of the Galaxy500.
That had to be in early 1963. I'm suddenly feeling very Gary Busey...

More or less one year old, I was planted on a table in a small private gym room at my dad's University campus.  It was probably in the late afternoon, after classes. There was orange sunshine scattering in from a high window behind him through dust everywhere.  My dad in a purple oversuit was skipping rope in that orange mix of light and dust to get back in shape after one of many operations on one of his legs, for polio.

The next earliest one is sitting on his shoulders as he walked along a high hedge to the opening of a wild garden in the countryside at high noon.
