Pam in a red bathing suit and glasses in Aptos in the summer of 1962. She's squinting, is that her 'good eye' she's squinting? What is that little kid thinking, do you remember, Pam? There aren't too many pictures of me before age 10 and the parents didn't have the camera.
Don't know who's in the chaise lounge next to you. Somebody wrapped up, blanket and thin arms in long sleeves. Doesn't look cold though.
I know that Pam's vision's problems were first identified from a photo viewed by Gayle Zwissler's mother. Mom was proudly showing around the baby pictures and she said "Goodness, what is wrong with that baby's eyes?" Mom grabbed the picture away and the eyes showed as crossed in the picture. She took Pam to the eye doctor straightaway.
A curious thing about the pictures of Pam. In 1962, she's hardly every smiling, always looks strained and troubled. Because of the patch and the glasses? But we'll see in later pictures that she's usually smiling brightly and mugging for the camera.

i would imagine that the person in the back gound is Father. Who else would be in pants and long sleeves in the summer?
Cool morning most likely would not bother little me. Most likely lived in a swim suit the whole week at the beach. Forceing eye sight most likely made the world look pretty fuzzy to me at that age.
