Continuing with my process of SCANNING in old slides and negatives from the past, memories flow through my mind of EARLIER TIMES. Days, weeks and months of RAISING BOYS from babies into grownups. As a single mother for many of those years, I certainly appreciated the SCOUTING program and the leaders that served as GOOD EXAMPLES for my sons and taught them VALUABLE SKILLS. All four of my sons participated in scouting and completed their Eagle Scout projects. They learned to enjoy camping, hiking and exploring nature. I'm loving LOOKING BACK at the little boys they were and appreciating the individuals they are now. Love them all and appreciate each son's UNIQUENESS. I LEARNED so much raising sons 1966 to 2001-35 years of EDUCATION. (Click to enlarge photos.)
