The Early Years

 

I know most of you will want to head for the bottom of the page and get to the links to the pictures of me as an adult, but here are some of my thoughts and pictures of me as I grew up. Maybe it would be more accurate to just say during my younger years. I'm still not real sure about being grown up ;-).

People often argue about the cause of homosexuality. I firmly believe I was born this way and have memories from very early childhood (like 3-5 years old) of what I think were sexual fantasies, like playing outside naked with my (male) friends and doing things like riding our bicycles (or tricycles) naked. I don't ever remember having any of those thoughts with my little female friends - only the boys. Those thoughts (the thoughts of unclothed people, I mean) are still present. National Geographic was my first "dirty" magazine, like many other boys of the 50s and 60s.

It would seem from these pictures from early childhood that I spent much of the summer shirtless, even running around in only underpants (which I abhor today). Even though his picture isn't included, I was with the friend I had those naked fantasies about. Is it any wonder that I like being shirtless (and pants-less) today? The first picture is me in the summer of '52. The other two pictures were the next summer. One was made at the zoo on a ride and in the other I was riding in a wheelbarrow full of watermelons being pushed by Granddaddy. A wasp had just stung me near my eye but the watermelons cheered me up.

Below are pictures of me chowing down on a burger I cooked myself while a Cub Scout and a picture with my beagle Smokey, who used to howl all night. It got so bad, we had to give him to some friends who lived in a very remote place, where he never howled again. He just wanted to be able to run and roam. Sounds like some people I know ;-).
   

And last, are some of my school pictures. Check out that hair <g>!

 

 

I have some more pix to add, like from when I was in my late teens and my twenties, but they have never been scanned.
