"When Americans Hide Behind a Mask, Anything can Happen.


I attended and graduated from a small private K-12 school in Houston called Awty International back in the 80’s. I graduated with eight other people and in this case graduating top of your class isn't a big deal which was sort of good for me. My school was so small I was able to take part in any activity I wanted to; cheerleading, every musical and every play, soccer, and my favorite, photographer and editor of our yearbook. 

Halloween is my favorite time of year and NPR is my favorite radio station. I love Halloween. Everyone has a chance to be creative and reinvent themselves. This year, NPR called out for submissions of vintage  Halloween photos, so I searched my archive for the oldest photos I could find from my days at Awty. I found some and submitted my series to their site. To my delight, NPR chose a photo from my series and posted it on their website (#3 of 13) title
boys in costume


Of my series, the photo I liked most was the boy dressed as Pac Man, but that might be because I was totally hooked on Pac Man. NPR chose to post another one of the series which may be the best of the bunch. I thought I would share them all together here, maybe you can tell me your favorites?



Happy Halloween.
