On My Father's Shoulders

So as you can imagine, I don't actually have any memories of the moment captured in this photo. But tonight is Dad's last night here, and I thought it would be fun to post the earliest picture I have of the two of us together.

The picture was taken at our house on Mt. Hope Terrace in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, in late 1963. Dad was 26, and he worked for Texas Instruments while we lived there (if you look closely, you can see his ID badge). Above our heads is a little sailboat mobile with hulls made from walnut shells, which I do remember because we had it for years.

Dad looks pretty engaged here (and handsome, no?). Not sure what's on my mind.
