Awesome old pictures!!! Thanks for sharing :)
These are awesome photos!!!
Interesting!
Les, I wish camera's were invented earlier in history so that we could have photos from waaaaay long ago.
Welcome, Susie!
Really yah, Kay!
I agree, Susan.
All were great, though my favorite is the Disney cafeteria with Snow White, etc. in costume.
Picture of Elvis brought memories. I served in the same army division ( 3rd Armor Division) Elvis served in Germany. He served in the 50-60's I believe. I served much after. He was stationed at a Kaserne in Friedberg. I saw the mansion that he lived off base.
I thought that was a neat photo too, Aunty.
Wow, Chet.
wow!
