Mom & Dad, with guests, on their wedding day, 1978.

Mom & Dad, before me.

Left to right: great grandmother, Mimi; grandma, June Carr; mom; aunt Carolyn Carr (now Hudson). Circa 1980.

I was born July 8, 1980 in San Francisco, California.

My parents and I the day I was born.

This bird sat outside the window while I was a newborn at Mt. Zion Hospital. My parents say it's because I'm special.

Me, the newborn, with my dad.

6 months old, with mom and dad.

My father, Greg Manning, as a wee babe.

Sitting around, I believe in the Vallejo house.

After my first haircut. Oh, how I cried and cried.

My first snow experience, with my mother and maternal grandfather, Eugene Berman. Circa 1983.

4th birthday, with my hand on cousin Paul Heidhues' shoulder.

I graduated from pre-school, and this proves it. Note the girl with a hand up her dress behind me.

The parents and I, circa 1985.
