MY FIRST TIME "TRICK OR TREATING"
The topic for this week's contribution to the "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks" Challenge is "Shock". I struggled with what to contribute on this topic and while looking through some old photographs of myself I happened upon two photos taken when I was three years old and having my first experience with "trick or treating".
Now true enough this was 70 years ago (oh, my goodness), I certainly don't remember this day and I have no idea what my costume was supposed to be but evidently I was having a good time.
The quality of the photos is definitely lacking in clarity and I can see that my mother at one time taped some tears with scotch tape but it was a Halloween view and while I am sure I didn't shock anyone with my costume - it wasn't something intended to scare - it is appropriate for a post just prior to Halloween, 2021.
Here I am at Halloween in 1951:
I don't know where this photo was taken. It was probably my home with my parents or could have been at my paternal grandparent's home, both in Detroit. I do see a baby photo of myself in a frame on a piece of furniture in the background. In the second photo I also see a very early television. It appears that I have a box of caramel corn in my hands and I do remember loving that snack when I was a child.
In any event Happy Halloween 1951!
