DJ poses on top of a rock pile at the Old Mission lighthouse beach area. This was a good memory.

DJ played a year of T-ball and then this was his first year in B-ball. He played for ETV Trucking, the team that had won the title the previous year. But, all the best players moved up to A-ball so the team was pretty bad, DJ included.

DJ steps up to the plate during a spontaneous game of whiffle fall on the edge of the beach at the Old Mission campgrounds. That is his dad acting as a catcher.

There was a guy, Mark, who worked and lived at the campgrounds during the summer who owned that barge in the picture and also a jet ski and once in a while he would take kids out for a ride one at a time. This was DJ's turn. It was a lot of fun.

DJ's class picture in 3rd grade - it was a mixed 3rd and 4th grade class. DJ is 4th from the right on the bottom row. Joel is just to the left of him. Andy is in the blue shirt in the center of the top row. I can still name two thirds of the people in this picture.

This is DJ's 2nd grade class picture probably taken in the fall of 1984 in the library of Oak Park Elementary School. Interestingly, DJ remembers the first and last name of 2/3 of the kids in this picture. He is the 2nd sitting kid from the left in the middle row.

DJ sits with John and Dawn, his cousins on his mom's side. He was 7 at this time.

This one particular year DJ got a whole bunch of LEGOs for Christmas - he'll never forget this set, the Cosmic Cruiser, a giant spaceship that could come apart into a smaller ship and a base.

This is DJ at the Jellystone park pool when he was probably around 3 years old. His family came here each summer for a few years, but stopped when he was very young so he barely remembers being there.

DJ kisses an unknown cat in an unknown place sometime around age 3 or 4.

DJ tries to blow out both of those candles in the kitchen of the Franklin street house.
