This really isn’t as wordless as I would like but some background is most likely necessary for these photos especially considering this is for genealogy purposes.

It’s Christmas Day 1994. I was in the United States Air Force Basic Training Camp at Lackland Air Force Base located outside of San Antonio, Texas. Our TI (training instructor) was ever so kind enough to let us go to the Base Exchange (BX) so we could buy needed items such as soap, etc. Several in my flight knew about the little photo booth located there so we all made notecards for our loved ones since we weren’t allowed to make phone calls at that time.

I think the photos themselves describe how I was feeling that day; being gone from my wife of only a year and our newborn son, only 3 months old.
