Suzy's fourth birthday (circa December 13, 1957; actual size approx. 9.5 x 7.6 in. (24.2 x 19.4 cm.)). Pictured here are some friends and neighbors: at far left is Randy Garrett, and in between Suzy and me is Lillian Kobmand, both of whom lived just across the street and next door to one another. Between Randy and Lillian is Brent Cwikala, one of my classmates from school and a good friend—although here he looks none too pleased at having his photo taken. (Perhaps Brent and I felt something in common in that we both had Polish ancestors.) Lillian was part of a lovely family of Danish and German heritage, about which more here. On the other hand, we Lacks kids must not have possessed much in the way of proper decorum when it came to birthday celebrations at our household. Here Geoffrey appears to have gotten a head start with Suzy's "good luck" candle on the far left. As for the manic expression on my face, I have no explanation whatsoever. Lightly retouched to remove various white and black spots on kids' faces.
