Here come a few more pictures scanned from old 35-mm slides, this time from Christmas at Gus and Marcia's home in San Mateo.

Rainbow over 1641 Lachine at sunset before heading off to Gus and Marcia's in San Mateo. Herb's old 1969 Cutlass is in the driveway to the garage-become-family-room.

Marcia serves snacks of carrots, radishes, and so on to Erica, while Barbara plays the piano in the family room off the kitchen.

Julie now being served, with Mary, Andrea and Erica in background and Craig playing marble maze at right.

At the opposite corner of the room Gus enjoyed some wine.

Mary had some, too, with peanuts and cookies -- Dave at right.

Gus calls the Pagels clan in Seattle to wish them Merry Christmas. Everyone gathers around to join in the greeting: Marcia, Andrea, Julie, Erica, Barbara, and Mary in foreground.

Marcia, Erica, and Barbara watch something interesting on the kitchen table.

Prime rib, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, fresh-baked rolls -- then pies later, including rum pie I'm sure.

Andrea in hippie bows plays the recorder after dinner. Notice that Julie had a "Peace" T-shirt in a photo above.
