Paul Noll Growing Up

14. The Three Noll Boys at 5, 6 and 7

Pictured here is the three Noll boys, Paul Stanley, JC (for James Crawford) was called Crawford, and Mark Donald (who was called Donald) until he went into the Air Force. Donald is on the left and Paul on the right. Crawford in the middle. This was taken in Santa Barbara in 1936. It is just after Christmas and we each have new red sweaters. We were poor but as kids we didn't know it then. My mother Myra got financial help to go to college from her brother, Uncle CC. His name was Claude C. Crawford. We called him Uncle CC. He was a Doctor of Education and taught at USC for many years. As the youngest of three boys I got mostly clothes after the others grew out of them. I was never bothered about that. I was always a happy kid as were my brothers.
