To start out....here are a couple of pictures of just Jay, in about 1956 at about 2.

Below, he is at the little house on 16th street, Vancouver, during a remodel.

Of course he never had a chance, and here is why....Bron and Wyn beside him on the steps of the Rice home is Seattle.

He would never again know any privacy or have any chance to a world of his own, especially with birthday's just one day apart.......

In 1957 the family bought a "Crod" sailboat named the "Spanker II", which they sailed on the Columbia River. In those days, with the older bridges, they would often stop and make them raise the bridges so they could pass....

In case you're wondering, a Crod is a "Columbia River One Design" sailboat. Today, only a few of the original 12 hulls remain afloat.
