Theme: Storytelling
“I love that my grandson Axel is reading and he just turned one. Looks like he is going to be a genius!”
– Renee Ramirez, LAFD
Noelle’s comment: I’ll back you on that prediction, Renee! Thanks for submitting.
“I came to LA from Germany as a student for flying lessons. Here I became best friends with Jack Harloe, a decorated World War II Army pilot who took me – no pun intended – under his (biplane) wings until I earned mine. Man, I even had hair back then!”
– Yves Didier, Airport Police
Noelle’s comment: That’s the kind of story I like, Yves, especially with the photo to illustrate it. It tells a story!
“Taken just before a reading at a delightful book signing with LA author Kim Gruenenfelder. The event was hosted at a remarkably preserved Northeast mid-century home that was once on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens in 1954.”
– Shaudi Pishvaie, LAPD
Noelle’s comment: I wonder if the mood of the book was the darkening of sunshine. Very moody and cool. Thanks for submitting, Shaudi!
“This is all about storytelling. Our great granddaughter learns about ‘Patty Cake, Patty Cake, Baker’s Man” from her great Gramma along with the motions that go with it. From our kids to grandkids to great-grandkids, they all learned the story.”
– John Nance, Retired, LADWP
Noelle’s comment: I think every child learns this song, and your granddaughter could only be repeating that song here, judging from her precious face and arms. No other story is possible!
“Marching On: This is the Pleasant Valley School District Band with the Las Colinas Middle School Dance Club behind. This photo was taken at the Camarillo Christmas Parade.”
– Alex Andrews, Building and Safety
Noelle’s comment: Celebrating Christmas is always a good story. (A question: But why black and white? Just curious!)
