That picture was taken January 6, 1945. World War II was still raging, space travel was still the stuff of science fiction and nobody (or very few) had a television set.

The world of 1945 would be utterly unrecognizable to young people today. Just this afternoon, I was telling a millennial co-worker how when I started in the workforce, there were no cellphones, email or even computers.

Amazing to have had a marriage last through all those societal and historical changes.
