Trucker Maura, 1986

Maura inside the cab of a truck. The date stamp is September 1986, a few months after we started dating in May of that year.  I borrowed this photo from her sister Jennifer, who told me it's somewhere near Fresno.

Maura and Jennifer, 1986

This photo was taken at the Andersen's Pea Soup restaurant in Beulton, just outside of Solvang.  From the look of it, the sisters were riding their bikes.  From the helmets and cycling gloves they were wearing, most cycling types can probably date this to the mid 80s, when those Bell helmets were popular.  This is obviously before Maura got serious into bike racing.  Photo is stamped Feb 1986 in the back, a couple months after I first met her.

Family Portrait, 1985

Maura is shown sitting next to her grandmother, Dorothy and father, Joe.  Sister and mother are standing.  This is the living room at the West Covina house.  I like that oversized kitty-graphic shirt Maura is wearing in this pic.  Photo stamped June 1985 in the back, courtesy of Jennifer.
