What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

Goodness how things have changed :) I love to see these old photos Sylvia, so fascinating!
I love looking back. Well, sometimes. Sometimes I think, "Oh, my achin' back!" And then if I want music I look Bach!
You have a great weekend, too, my friend and thanks for your comment on L & L!
These are such precious frames and to think how all has changed.

Golly that is some selection... the Tolstoy one sent me off in 'wikimode' as he is a favourite author of mine...a fruitful hour!!! YAM xx
the last one made me snicker. lordy!
That last picture just blows my mind!
How fun! I see Tolstoy's grandchildren are as mesmerized as the rest of us. PS I think I owned those stewardess boots!
Stewardesses have sure changed over the years. I used to fly Southwest a lot in 1971 and their outfits were still pretty skimpy then. - Margy
Very interesting pictures!
I was trying to see the photo of the Southwest stewardesses, but my glasses were steamed up. Can you re-post it bigger?
Those child laborers smoke like old men! So sad.
The stewardesses....I thought they were cheerleaders!
I like them all but the construction of "Miss Liberty" is amazing!
Thanks for sharing I love old photos like these! On a side note I'm pretty sure the bottom photo is from the late 1960's or early 70's.
