1960s - Me without my hair in braids

My first cousin discovered a large box of my grandparents' slides and sent them to me.  A second cousin offered to digitize the slides for me.  I've been featuring them on my blog once or twice a month. My grandfather took this photograph of me at about age four or five beside the house on 7 Dearborn Avenue in Beverly, Massachusetts.  This photo must date from 1965 or so.

I usually wore my hair in long braids, and didn't cut my hair until I was in middle school.  This is one of the few photos I have of me without my hair in braids.  I don't look very happy here.  Perhaps someone just took out the elastic hair bands and gave my hair a hard brushing for the photo?  I remember standing on a chair as little girl so my mother could untangle and braid my hair every morning before school.  Don't you love the tiny, short bangs?
