About Me
- ellen
- I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

What's the story?
very nice photos!
glad to find you by chance. I'm a mormon too (I'm from Moscow).
That darker seat looks like what the Red Sox did with the red seat for Teddy Ballgame (& ep).
I can't tell you how much I love these pictures. They are such a ordinary but familiar part of me. I am surprised at the emotional reaction I have looking at them.
I tried to answer your email but it was returned.
I haven't ever live in Boston but grew up in the church and those folding chairs set up in the gym, the "Stake President" sign, the hymn books, those are the same wherever I've been in the world. Those things are such a part of me and yet it's never crossed my mind to take pictures of boring old mormondom. Love Love Love.
Yes my mom grew up on Hart St. in Van Nuys. That is where we would go and visit my grandparents until I was about 8 or 9 years old. Her name is Donna Pack Stanley. My grandparents are Lloyd and Lucille Pack. My step dad grew up there too. (Roger McEvoy) He went to the same high school that my mother did and they were friends.
I'd love it if you knew them or maybe your parents knew them?
It is a small world.
