Figure 1.--The Baker boys, Martin and Erik, were photographed at a community outing in 1967 enjoying some eats at a picnic table. The name of the park seems to be Carkonen, but we are not sure where it was located. The photograph was taken June 24, 1967. It was at a Vasa festival. We are not sure what that means. We think a Vasa festival is a kind of Scandanavian folk festival, hopefully our Scandanavia readers will enligten us. Martin is 3 years old and Erik is 5 years old. They are both dressed in identical very preppy white button-down short sleeved shirts, not exactly standard picnic wear. Which suggests the boys came from a prosperous middle-class Baby Boomer family and not not the hippy type. In 1960s lingo, the buttoned-down type. Erik seems a real live wire.

Vasa means vase in Swedish. It is probably best know as a famouis Swedish 16th century ship that sunk and has been recovered in remarkavle condition. I has its own museum in Sweden.
