James and Harriet Blilie Family Photo Albums
Volume 3: 1967 - 1972

Back to Family Photo Albums Index Page
This page provides access to scanned images of the family photo albums that my father, James L. Blilie
created from 1958 through around the year 2000. most are black and white photos that he shot
and developed and printed himself.
For now, for the most part, I am just scanning the prints in the albums and presenting them here, with labels.
Eventually, I hope to replace these images with new ones, scanned from the original negatives, which I have.
Since there are 6 loose-leaf notebooks of negatives, this is going to be a long-term retirement project!
Charles L. Blilie's recollections of our trip through the South (Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, etc., including
visiting Loraine and Alex Polanek in New Jersey):
I remember visiting the McKenneys in 1967 very well. It's where I learned how to shinny up a pole. Hard to
believe that was 55 years ago!
The first day of the trip I recall we stayed with Lorraine and Alex in New Jersey. (I had trouble sleeping that
night because it was so hot, and of course their house had no air conditioning.)
The second day we drove through Washington DC and stopped at some Civil War battlefield. Then we stayed
at a motel in Roanoke, VA. I remember we got there pretty late and it was raining.
The third day I think we drove the rest of the way to Jackson. We visited the Spences and McKenneys on the
way back home. We also visited Mom's cousins in Knoxville TN, but I can't recall whether that was on the
way down or the way back.
One thing I remember from that trip is that we ate at fast food restaurants a lot (just the kind of thing an 8 year old
would remember).
