Buddy Hinds [PRESUMABLY] --- caption: This is an exact likeness of the precious baby


Buddy Hinds 5/12/1945 --- caption: This boy had thrown the ball and was looking for it. [I guess the bat on the right is the one mentioned in another caption where Mom said that Grandpa had give me a bat that was "as big as he is" --- there's another pic with me and a TINY bat which actually would have been more my speed at the time. I doubt I could have lifted the one in this pic] --- caption on another print: Mama's yard and house in Knightdale, NC. Papa gave him a baseball bat as big as he was. Paul Hinds Jr. "Little Paul". 1946 [yep, different year on this print]


Buddy Hinds --- caption: This is the best picture we've been able to get of him, but you can't see his eyes and you can't know him unless you could see his sparkles and twinkles and facial expressions.

Buddy Hinds 6/11/45 --- caption: looks like he's getting your chin! See where he bumped his head.

Buddy Hinds --- these pics had glue on the back just like postage stamps and (I think) were sometimes used as a seal on the back of an envelope

Buddy Hinds --- caption: "Muffer, Paul's got to give his cake to the pigeons." He did. [I take this to be an approximation of my young articulation --- hey, at least I was nice to the birds!]

Buddy Hinds 5/14/1945 apparently having been put on the chain gang and not enjoying it (HEY ... I'm only TWO you guys!) [Hm ... I'm wondering about the date on that pic --- does that look like a two year old? I really can't tell but it seems not]
