    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!

    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

    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.
