Gene and the Grandfather Clock

EJZ as a high-school senior, I would say.  Notice the case clock in the background.

I remember that rocker - it was in the kitchen by the time I was sitting in it.

On a Mac, at least, you can enlarge the picture with one left-click.  See the Nativity scene at the base of the Christmas tree?  What are those two pillar-looking things on either side of it?  Hmmm, pillars, probably.  It's bringing the church into the house.

I must say, if I came home to that particular Christmas tree, I would vow to plant evergreens when I grew up.  Wouldn't anyone?
