Pelle was into hats at a very young age, evidently!

3526. RickNelson - 1/21/2006 9:26:09 PM

either that kid with the hat or the one looking with a side glance.

3527. alistairConnor - 1/21/2006 9:48:12 PM

I'm thinking the little blond kid, dead centre.

3528. Marc-Albert - 1/21/2006 9:53:35 PM

Has to be the boy in the back row, far left, looking at the photographer with amused skepticism.

3529. PelleNilsson - 1/21/2006 10:10:31 PM

No hit so far. Tomorrow I may post a hint.

3530. alistairConnor - 1/21/2006 10:14:06 PM

That's an invitation for a second guess... on reflection, you're the one to the left of the stern-looking teacher, beside the beanie boy.

3531. RickNelson - 1/21/2006 10:20:42 PM

LOL, I've got it.

You've got your face dead center in front of your teacher.

Planned that didn't yah?

3532. PelleNilsson - 1/21/2006 11:28:17 PM

You're on the right track, alistair. I haven't seen this photo for ages and at first glance I mistook myself for the kid you mention.

3533. anomie - 1/22/2006 1:39:42 AM

Based on that clue, you've got to be top left.

3534. thoughtful - 1/22/2006 5:13:59 PM

Must be the one with the stern looking grimance under the teacher's boobs... he looks like he just found someone posting a political remark in the good life thread!

Here is the class photo again and below it another one from the same period.





I take this opportunity to requote my immortal ode to that photo:

Pelle drives a Ferguson;
a Ferguson, a Ferguson.
Pelle drives a Ferguson;
a Massey, Massey Ferguson.

Fourth from the left in the middle row, directly in front of the tall person with lots of hair.

3537. wonkers2 - 1/22/2006 8:03:13 PM

w2 agrees with rjb. But w2 prefers International Harvester or John Deere tractors. Nothing runs like a Deere!!

Speakeasy Restaurants in Bay Area



Speakeasy restaurants with chic cuisine and rock-bottom prices are springing up around the Bay Area right in people's homes -- such as this one in Oakland's Rockridge district that is preparing lamb chops over fennel-cornbread stuffing and browned brussels sprouts. Getting in is all about who you know (and who they know.)

You are right, of course.

The small Ferguson tractor was exactly what was needed when the large-scale mechanisation of farming started here after WWII. The village smiths were busy refitting horse-pulled contraptions for tractor-pulling. The only big investment needed, apart from the tractor itself, was a plow, usually with two blades, which together with the higher speed and inexhaustible stamina of the tractor meant a massive productivity increase.

This must be from about 1950. The poor girl I'm martyring is now a drama actress of some repute here in Quebec.

3541. wonkers2 - 1/23/2006 4:56:55 PM

Back row right or center of middle row?

3542. thoughtful - 1/23/2006 8:11:32 PM

Interesting to note the boy/girl segregation in pelle's class picture

3543. ronski - 1/23/2006 11:21:27 PM

We went skiin' yesterday. This is at Belleayre, in the Catskills.

3544. judithathome - 1/23/2006 11:38:02 PM

Marc-Albert, when I looked at that picture, I said to myself "I hope he's the one torturing that kid in front!" and was thrilled when I read the caption under it to see I was right!

Good looking kids in that picture!
