CAPTIONS FOR MONROE PHOTOS

1. Woolsey Painters-1952 (Lloyd in the back row, second from the right - boy he loved to play baseball!)
2. Larry(9)Rich(8)Doug(5) at the Oranjestad docks shopping for fresh fruits/veggies.

4. John(4)Bung 411.
5. Larry(14)Rich(13)Doug(10)John(5)and Esther/Mom(35) after climbing up the south side of Hooiberg, thru cactus and thorn bushes (see the machete) only to discover there were concrete stairs on the north side... mom not
amused!
6. Santa Cruz Protestant Church at Hooiberg... I think... love the contrast to the landscape.
7. Triple deck at the big docks. Jumping from the second deck on to the lower diving board was always a feat...just so you cleared the handles of the ladder enroute! More scary was jumping off the roof of the shelter on the cliff into five feet of water - "slide out" or you hit bottom!
8. The original Tee Docks... (No slide, No Boat dock) beautiful beach - boy were we spoiled.
9. Bung 411 - with the addition of low wall, hedge and crab grass... civilization had arrived!
10. "A4116" Our Aruba license plate on many cars over 22yrs at Lago - this a 47'Packard, Oranjestad docks.
11. St. Nicholas - a stop at the "Cobbler" - open green door on the left - have any shoes made or repaired... important when you have five growing boys.
12. Bachelor Studs chucking kids off the Tee Docks - trust me, they wore out before the line of kids did!
13. Doug's (7) birthday - Bung 411 - other than my brothers and the three Eagans... don't know the rest.
14. Doug's (12) birthday - Bung 411 - Chet Rogers hanging out front with brother Doug - John Thompson and Dave Brace in the middle of the back row... Eagan on the end (bro' Rich at the very back)

17. Hunting lizards with BB guns at Sea Grape grove.
18. A very young Lloyd Monroe atop the fractionating unit "Cat Cracker" with a spectrometer in his hand to check the temperature of the "cooking" by color - he was a Petro Chemical Engineer - and a great Dad.
19. John(15),Ann Quarles(15) and Wendy Fox(14) - taking the family ski boat out for some fun on the lagoon!
20. Circa 1960 - the Monroe Boys - or as Grampa Victor was fond of saying: "five unsuccessful attempts for help in the kitchen..." ouch! - sorry Mom. Bill(5) born late to the team... but always a Monroe.
21. Circa 1963 Bro Doug & Chet Rogers - taking the ski boat out for a day off the boat dock.
22. Young Billy(8) teaching this fair maiden the finer arts of skin diving... submarine races are next...
