Uncle Mix in 1986.

This was my Aunt Ida's husband.  Honestly, I don't remember his real name.  Everybody just called him Mix.  He and Ida hosted large friends and family gatherings in their yard every Sunday when I was a kid.  There was a lot of drinking, gambling and carousing, but there were also a lot of my cousins and other kids to play with.

I remember that I asked if I could take his picture and he responded by striking this pose.  He probably had more than a few bottles of Genesee in his bloodstream at the time.

July 1986: My grandfather gave me a Go Bots camera when I was a kid.  It wasn't a toy that turned into a robot or an action figure; it was an actual camera.  I used this camera to take a pile of photos that I'm sharing on a blog called GoBotsCamera.

So, if you'd like to see Northeast Pennsylvania in the mid 1980's from a child's point-of-view, take a look and follow my little project.
