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! 3535. PelleNilsson - 1/22/2006 7:01:09 PM 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. 3536. robertjayb - 1/22/2006 7:48:26 PM 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!! 3538. jexster - 1/22/2006 8:57:49 PM 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.)
Underground Gourmet 3539. PelleNilsson - 1/22/2006 9:10:52 PM 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. 3540.

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! 3545. robertjayb - 1/23/2006 11:42:11 PM What news of your son, judith? 3546. Magoseph - 1/24/2006 12:15:14 AM Check here, Robert: Message # 18316 in thread 142
