Travis 1970s
Most of these imagers were scanned from photo prints.
The 1970s was the decade of change for the Travis family. It saw the acceleration from teenagers to young adults, and all that comes with that. Mom and Dad separated in 1974 and later divorced. She went on to sell our house on JoAnne in Livonia (1975) and bought a condo in the new emerging City of Novi. Bill and Rich found themselves in new schools, and Rob looking to step out on his own.

This photo is in here to honor my mom. She encouraged me to paint a mural on the garage door. I can remember calling her at work to explain to her my idea for the door. Bless her for not shooting it down. (1975)
Now you can see why Roni was so enamored with Rob.
