Little Child

I think this is the earliest photo of me ever taken (click to enlarge).  Looks like Christmas 1954.  The picture shows all my older siblings under the tree. The twin girls in the middle are not siblings: Molly and Theresa Glynn were neighbors. 
 
Upper left is Polly (likely age 6 1/2).  On the right is Marty at age 8. Seated are Jon, Bill (obviously after holding up a candy store with Jon), Dan, and Phyllis.  I seem to be the little child in Dan's lap, beckoning to Phyllis for help.  At age five months, all I wanted for Christmas was a couple teeth.  Actually ten months later, Santa brought me the best gift ever ... a little brother ... way better than a non-fungible token.  
 
Life is good and the rest is history.
