  1. Good morning Brock,
    I love looking at the old photos. I wish I could see them in their entirety on my computer without scrolling though.
    Did you notice the slacks Annette F. was wearing? Open cutout down the outside of the legs, that was pretty racy for 1959, lol.
    The one of the railroad bridge in GA, the brick work was so beautiful. Such workmanship is not seen in today's concrete monstrosities.
    Oh, and the last photo, did you notice all the elec wires strung across the street? That is just ugly, I am glad we don't have that now!
    Miss Violet
