In 1949, my mother realized that I was slouching to hide my 'figure' that was developing. So she sent me to modeling school so that I would learn to stand up straight and walk gracefully. I think the modeling school was a little flummoxed by having children so young (my sister was only 9 and I was 11), so we didn't really need to know how to walk in heels or do our makeup, but they did what they could. My sister had a photo shoot for a department store advertising a sale on children's clothing in the newspaper.
I was in one fashion show in the Junior sizes wearing an aqua dress with a rust colored hat and gloves as accessories.
It was at this point that my hair was cut. I grew all the way through the Junior department in one year and by the time I was 12 I was into Misses.
Winter in 1949 - my sister ,Anita Zorzoli, my mother and me in front of our house
Pictures from this period were local to Baltimore. Fort McHenry
Baltimore's Washington Monument
Davidge Hall - a historic domed structure which has been in continuous use for medical education since 1813, the oldest such structure in the United States. I don't have the book with what each slide showed written down in it, and I don't remember off the top of my head whether the people in the picture were medical students, or if it was a reunion or a meeting of the Anatomists.
The pink dogwoods on Keswick. (Pink dogwoods were my dad's favorite)
We went to Woods Hole in the summer
Stony Beach
Dr. Eleanor Slifer outside the Mess Hall. She was a leading international authority in the entomology field for her “monumental contribution in elucidating the mechanisms of insect sensory perception and her pioneering work in the successful application of high resolution electron microscopy to the study of insect sense organs. Most of the people Dad took pictures of in Woods Hole were, or would be famous scientists
The Woods Hole Inn - my grandparents came up to visit and they stayed here.
Bob and Muriel Oster. Bob was known for research in measuring brain waves for use in treating mental illness and Muriel taught at Friends school. They lived up the street from us in Baltimore.
We stayed at The Lookout again this year and Ed continued to take us out on boats - we went through the Cape Cod Canal on a power boat
The bridge in the background is a railroad lift bridge
Here I am at the wheel of a sailboat
In the fall we visited our cousins in Keyport
Lined up by height as Mariby was a little older than I was
Then we went down to Miami at Christmas to visit Joe Scott - one of my dad's former students. He invited us down to go to the Orange Bowl. We stayed in a penthouse condo that belonged to his dad.

Me and old Mr. Scott
Miami at night
Banyon Tree
Poinsettias were new back then
Hialeah Race Track-in those days it was a thoroughbred track and the flamingos in the middle were a big deal
