See any resemblance?

On the left: Baby Tim, his big sister, Patrice, and their brother Kent in the spring of 1959. On the right: Tim's son, Reeve (front), Patrice's daughter, Jessie, and Kent's son, Nick, December 1989.

Of kith and . . . kind?

I was going through some old photos and happened upon one, taken about 40 years ago, in which my sister, Cathy, and I are dancing. I was immediately struck by how much, in the photo, Cathy at age 6 looks like her son Ian. But I was even more struck by how much, in the photo, I at age 7 look like . . . me. See for yourself.

I know, I know. A long, roundabout way of stating the obvious. We look like our families; we look like ourselves. Still, it’s kind of fun to see it laid out so plainly via the medium of photography.
