You don’t really appreciate something until it’s gone. If we’re lucky, in 100 years or so we might be able to wipe the stains on our civilization that the Leftists have given us over the last 50 years. I try my best to remain cautiously optimistic.

Interesting to see these in color. I saw them last year in black and white.

The boys fishing in the bayou has been my desktop for about a year now. I just love that photo!

Thanks.

I always look at the eyes in photos like these. Something stirring in them...

Wonderful! I was born in 1940 and all that looks very familiar somehow.

Growing up, I was kind of embarrassed how poor our family was.

My parents seemingly having nothing. Working in the dirt to grow enough food to feed the 10 of us.

Even though dad had polio, we never got much help from the government (except in the flood following Hurricane Agnes in ‘72).

Looking back, I now know how blessed we were.

Where is you dad from? My husband’s family was affected by Agnes also.

People from that era just seem to look older than their years.

So many of those photos could be Rockwell pictures.

The one of the two boys fishing could be a picture from the Golden age of American Illustration.

I look at these and wonder what happened to each person in the photos—a revolution, 2 World Wars, pogroms (against the Jews). For those who survived, I wonder what became of them.

I was thinking the same thing, about Rockwell. Some of the pictures looked like paintings.
