A JC Penney Portrait

Who doesn't have at least one of these photos? In Monrovia, there was a free-standing JC Penney on Myrtle Ave. Our dad worked there when I was little. It had a main floor and a basement. I can still see how the staircase wound downstairs in the middle of the store. The photos were taken down on the lower level.

My mom would get us matching outfits, and our cousins would generally get their photos taken at the same time. Often these photo outfits were our Christmas outfits as well.

This one was taken probably in late 1972 judging by my haircut. Kevin would be about 19-20 months old, so his cerebral palsy was probably just diagnosed in the few months before this photo was taken.
