Don't count on my memory.......
 

1964 - maybe? I know the photo (w/o the ballantine id) was part of one of the 8x10 team picture sets. If no one else chimes in to confirm, I will try to do a little digging.

Nice photo I had not seen that one before this.

Really like that photo!

Thanks Mike and Mark. I don’t think I’ve seen another one. I’m sure there are more, but I just don’t see them.

Count me in
 

Don't own one, nor have I seen one! What size is it?

Approx. 8x10

Day 128


So the story behind this next item is when my oldest daughter was in elementary school, she was assigned the task of creating a hand puppet (of a famous person) with the "help" of a family member. She knew I was a big fan of Roberto, so he was her choice.

Now going into this team project, I knew there was no "I" in team, but I also knew that there was a "me" in team, because from the start, all the work was done by me. This annoyed me at first, but as the project moved forward and I saw how "nice" the puppet was coming along, I started to enjoy it. It got to the point that when my daughter actually wanted to help, I wouldn't let her, because I thought she would mess it up...lol.

But wait, I get more pathetic. The day she brought it into school, I really didn't want her to. I thought it was going to get ruined being in her backpack or by classmates touching it. I made her promise not to let her friends play with it...:cool: When she came home from school that day, the first thing I said to her was..."Where's my puppet?!?" Sad.......very sad.

So without further ado...


ca. 1990s Roberto Clemente Hand puppet...

It's an illness my friend. Nonetheless that's a great story.

Apparently you, Howard, rats and I have been stricken with the same disease.:D
