    Being an historian of sorts, I always love seeing pictures of the past. These are some excellent ones and I thank you for sharing. Hope you're getting ready for a great weekend.

    Re the poodle: We once had a big black poodle. Kinda perky, too. But our perky poodle piddled on our pillows so we had to get rid of him! :)

    I loved seeing these photos, Sylvia. I especially liked the one of Bill Gates. He's actually smiling for a mug shot! Too cute!

    Time moves on, doesn't it????? Loved seeing the construction of the Golden Gate, the Eiffel Tower, and Mt. Rushmore...

    We saw Mt. Rushmore in 2012--and I was SO impressed.

    Great photos.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    More interesting photographs. Clinton was probably telling JFK to keep the White House clean because he planned to move in sometime.
