Aw, this was such a good idea for a topic. That picture on stage was taken about 6 hours before my wreck....and the wake boarding one was the summer before. Fun times!

Great pics Daisy, what's the bike? I loved your last comment, "Having a good time and living life"; a very positive attitude... :cheers: I'll drink to that.

Still got that cheeky grin Ches, I bet you were a little devil, and you've not changed; you've probably got worse.... :mfrlol:

Awwwwww Ches. Toooo cute! I hafta admit, especially with your hair brown again, you look just the same. I can see every bit of you with that little smile on your face.

It's so cool to see so many people, from different points in time, and the things you all have done.

Come now, let's really get serious. Make it a competition of sorts, if you will. Dig out those old, dusty, photo albums. Call mom, dad, brother, sister, etc., etc., if you must and show us where you were, what you did, the memories you have captured from back in the time.

Dig them up, scan them up, post them up, but do becareful, not too many butt's. Don't want thing's to get carried away and have an SCI porn site erupt!

Ok, maybe not. That's REALLY starting to sound like a pain in the ass-teroids. You don't know MY family and those boxes are heavy. Not to mention there's a whole shed full of them, plus albums scattered throughout the house, PLUS the 100 GB's on the computers from the digital camera's. Were talking more pictures then an average lifetimes income.

Anyhakunamatata, all I meant to say was NICE PIC'S! :specool:

Climbing Europe's largest sand dune is one thing, but a digital pic from the 80's? Now that IS impressive. :unsure: I didn't even know digital cameras were around then!

hurbshankin,

You are referring to "Laura SanGiacomo" and yes I do hear that often but only in regards to photographs, never in person. She was also the hooker friend in Pretty Woman.

I've been trying to find some on the computer of Brad, well a better picture anyway. We have lots of his senior prom, but we don't have a scanner, soooo

this picture is of all the "neighborhood" kids...all of these people are still a big part of Brad's life!

He's the one on the far right...about 12 or 13, injured when he was 18.

Here's one of Mr. Hapa with all his sibs. I'm sure you can all tell it's in the 80's he was injured in 1985 I believe a few months after this pic was taken. Fortunately for him, he was always the most athletic out of his brothers, which helped him in rehab. Unfortunately, he's the tallest in the family at 6' 2", which was a detriment when he dove in the pool. Here's a game for ya. Can you pick out the twins?

I found these pics that I copied for my oldest sis. I remember this day my 3 sibs and I were getting our portraits taken first individually 24 shots ea., then 8 shots of all of us together. By this time, I was way past my nap and the first is shot #3 and my father had just yelled at me. My sibs would kill me if I put their pics on the Internet, but you should've seen their faces and how aggravated they were at me. You can tell by shot #7 I was tearing up. By the last shot where I know I'm going to "GET IT" when I get home, you can tell I'm ready to pee my pants. I know this thread is for pictures pre-injury, but believe me; I was very much injured this day.
