The Homepage of Keenan Powell |
Hi and welcome to the Powell family archives. These are some photos and information on the photos that I compiled and scanned. Yes, I know that my family's gonna love me for this one, but, HEY!, I never listened to them before and I'm not going to start now... These photos are clickable. Now, shall we begin the tour? Let's start with this one to the left. That's me, your host for this auspicious occasion. Can you figure out what I'm standing in front of? If not, click Here for a clue. Use your scroll bar for more photos. | |
That's a hot air balloon during a hot air balloon race we attended in St. Louis. I think my mother took the shot. |
That's all of us. Dad, Alma, Mom, Kevin, Cheryl, me and, of course, the "polar bear" is Yeroff. |
That's Dad and my grandfather, Melvin Powell. They're standing in front of Granddad's house. | Wanda and Kenneth Powell. My mother and father. |
The proud parents, Kevin and Alma Powell, with their daughter, Jessalynn |
The one that's marked "dad", that's Ray Alstrom. That's my brother's best friend growing up. When one of them was in trouble, the other one was not far behind... Yes, Ray, I "liberated" this and the other two photos straight from your web site. |
Of course, I was friends with all the Alstroms, but Diane (Ray's "sista", by the way) was the one that was closest to my age. She's the one I went to school with and I hope she is doing ok. I have no idea as to how recent of a photo this is. | That's another of Ray's "sistas", Linda. That's my sister Cheryl's cohort, partner-in-crime, whatever you want to call it. All of these photos are courtesy rayalstrom.com, even if Ray didn't know it. (Go ahead, Ray. Install that java script that prevents visitors from "liberating" graphics and I'll demonstrate how a person can get around it.) We should have some photos or slides of the Alstroms and Powells at a picnic at Joe's Pond. I'll have to check it out. |

10F2 - 1 | KEENAN & KEYES J | THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF STEAM | 15.00 |
So, who is this Keyes and why am I having to give him 50% of my royalties? I wonder what I said concerning the thermodynamic propeties of steam? While looking up something else, I ran across at the Eyes of the Owl Used Book site. |

This is a list of the people who were at one time involved in Scout Pack 3442. Several of you seeing this will see several familiar names. Everybody will see at least one familiar name. | This is the discharge paper of an ancestors of mine. (Great-grandfather? Great-Great-Grandfather?) This discharge is from the Union Army circa 1863, 97 years before I was born. |
Ok, now we'll go back to more embarressing subjects.
While we're on the subject of Cuddly Duddly,
This is Bill Jackson, better known as Mayor BJ of Cartoontown. The puppets are Mother Plumtree and the Old Professor. I would imagine this one is a publicity photo for Cartoontown. Use to watch this show everyday after school for years and years. All of these photos are courtesy of Roger's Basement. But if you really want to know about Bill Jackson, Dirty Dragon, et al, go to dirtydragon.com Bill's a wonderful, warm person. He's retired out in CA. I do have the pleasure of corresponding with him through e-mail every now and then and I have had the pleasure of thanking him for all the hours of entertainment during my childhood. I wish him continued health and happiness. | This is Ray Rayner. Every morning, while I was in grade school, at least till I was in Jr. High, I would imagine, I watched his show. He ran the Warner Bros. cartoons, introduced us, as you can see, to Cuddly Duddly and made the worst looking handi crafts that you could imagine (always had a proper one made by someone else handy to show us what it was suppose to look like). I've heard that Ray is retired in Arizona now. I thank him for all the hours of entertainment during my childhood and wish him continued health and happiness. | "Answer me this question in your loudest voice possible. Who's your favorite clown?" Of course, this little tribute would not be complete without a shot of Bozo's Circus. Chicago had the longest running and, IMHO, best Bozo show there was. I tell you, these kids today, they don't know what they're missing! (Eygads! I am "getting old", aren't I?) |
I have no idea. I have no earthly idea. Don't bother writing me and asking me what this photo is all about as I have absolutlely no idea. |
Before we get into something rather heavy, let me show you these photos:
Another shot of Yeroff. Isn't that a wonderful shot? |
This is Alma's, my sister-in-law, dog, Mercy. I rather doubt she would show you any. |
"Help me! I'm melting!" |
There will be more added to this page later, but this is all for now.
