A Shameless Tribute to ME Larry M. Wassman
This was from an old, discolored, wrinkled and torn picture of me, when I was a child living in Tacoma Washington. About 1943. These days I feel about the same shape as this picture. I am old discolored wrinkled, and torn too. I was born in Tacoma Washington on November 11, 1941. Less than a month before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Maybe this is why I am in a sailor suit as my folks anticipated me going into the Navy. Believe it or not, I can remember a lot of my early years living in Tacoma. We moved from there to Puyallup when I was 3 years old, and I have a lot of memory of that time. I sometimes forget what went on yesterday, but I do remember a lot of my early years. I have always maintained that I can remember birth, or at least the sensation of birth, but my family scoffs at that and puts that in the same category as many of the other weird things about me that they know.
This is the Miller Apartments on Tacoma Avenue in Tacoma Washington. This was my first home. My step-Grandfather Clearance Sangster, was the manager of these apartments and my parents had a nice apartment on the first floor of the second building of the complex as you look down the street here. Just about where that old car is parked on the street. I can remember many things while living here. We moved from here, to Puyallup, Washington when I was about 3 years old.
This is my baby picture that was taken in the hospital. They kept telling my parents that they were going to have to take it back to the zoo and that the authorities would not let anyone keep a creature like that, but they would not listen and took me home anyway. I can't help how I look, just look at my genealogy on this web sight to see others in my family and you will know why.
This is me and my mom setting by an old car. Sure wish I had that old car now. My mom probably wishes she was that young again too. This was about the time that our family moved from Tacoma to Puyallup Washington. Puyallup was about seven thousand people then and every one knew every one else. Both of my grandfathers worked at the Hunts cannery in those days. The main employers in the Puyallup Valley were the many canneries, lumber mills, and farming. Today most of the canneries are gone, the mills went out of business or burnt down and most of the farms are now housing developments. Some of the earliest families in the valley were my relatives and that is one reason that during the depression, my family moved from the mid-west to the valley. Puyallup today has a population of about 35,000 or so but there are many little communities now that used to be all part of what was known as Puyallup and if you take them all together the population would be over 100,000.
