June 1958 Photo of Randy, Scott, Betty and Fred Seaver Post 669 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday
I can t help it, I can t do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite colorized photographs:
This photograph was taken in June 1958 on the occasion of my graduation from Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. It was taken in the patio (our ping pong center, whiffle ball field, and basketball court) near 2114 Fern Street in San Diego. We lived at 2119 30th Street, the upper floor of the house in the background.
Pictured here are, from the left: Betty Virginia (Carringer) Seaver (1919-2002), my mother, looking spiffy in her white suit and hat.

This photograph is from 10 August 1940 in Leominster, Massachusetts. The occasion is the marriage of my uncle, Edward Richmond Seaver (1913-2004) to Janet Arleen Roukes (1913-2002). The setting is probably at the Chocksett Inn in nearby Sterling, Massachusetts.
Janet is the woman in the bridal veil on the left, talking to an older man, Ed is the white suit to the right of Janet kissing an older woman, I don t know who the matron of honor is in the middle, and the tall guy - the best man - in the white suit on the right is my father, Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983).

The Frederick W. Seaver Family of San Diego, Plus a Cousin, in 1958 Post 654 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday
I can t help it, I can t do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite photographs:
In summer 1958, my aunt and uncle Walter and Evelyn (Seaver) Wood drove from Leominster, Massachusetts to San Diego with my grandmother, Alma Bessie (Richmond) Seaver and Walter and Evelyn s granddaughter, Diana. They stayed for about a week with the Marshall and Dorothy (Taylor) Chamberlain family in San Diego, where Bessie s sister, Emily (Richmond) Taylor lived. So it was a grand reunion of my father with his sister and mother after 16 years away from Massachusetts. This was the first and the last time that my brothers and I met our paternal grandmother.
I can t help it, I can t do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite photographs:
This photograph was taken in late 1943 (Christmas time?) or early 1944. The giggling baby (only 2-3 months old) is your scribe, and that is my father, Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983) lovingly holding me and beaming at me. This is before he joined the U.S. Navy during World War II and served on the U.S.S. Halford as a Mailman 3rd Class.
I think that the setting is on the side of my grandparents home at 2130 Fern Street in San Diego. My grandfather, Lyle L. Carringer, probably snapped this as a black and white photo.
