Love it Fred! I take it they're now parents, even grandparents!
The shadows of the children contrasted with the shadows of the two trees really tells a story

Nice one Fred.
I wish I had been using Kodachrome back in those days. I experienced quite a bit of color shifting with Ektachrome while using generic E-6 developing outlets. I shifted to Agfachrome in 1975 but through time the color shifts are even worse. I did move to Kodachrome25 in 1976 and the colors in those slides are still true.

Thanks Dan. The smallest, Christine, was born when my wife was in her 40's and Christine did not have kids until later. So now she has 2 boys 16 and 13. Greg works for a computer firm, and Jennifer is single, and graduated from John Hopkins as a RN at 41 9 years ago and is in LA now.

Thanks Alan. I have a big 20x30 print that has retained about 80% of its color. Forgot where I sent to get it printed. But I remember how long the colored prints I made with the old chemicals lasted -not long.
Nice one I wish my old Kodachrome 25 slides were good most are out of focus

Wonderful image Fred; the color may fade (as do we all), but the image and the impact are forever. What a great reminder.

This is really awesome Fred! I used Kodachrome a lot, but usually Kodachrome 64, 25 was too slow for me as teenager.
This is such a cool portrait, with the shadows of the trees, and just the look of it. And thanks for the history and where your kids are at today, that was interesting.
Did any of them catch the photo bug from you?
