I love Best Friends. Captures childhood friendship perfectly. And shot at the right time; not posed.
How does a HS Principal do the machine work for those watches? Is the movement his too?
I have queued up on Amazon a program (from PBS) on Jews in WW2.
I know Henry Kissinger was a Staff Sgt in the Army.
My dental hygienist for years has been an Ethiopian Jew who was rescued by Israelis and grew up in Israel. Much of her family, including her father, lives in Israel and she visits every year with her white Jewish husband. We have talked about the racial problem in this country where she has experienced “hate stares” from black females when she is out with her husband. They live in largely white Irvine in Orange County but she still sees the black racism.
I always look forward to Friday Photos, Robert. So many beautiful pictures.
I wouldn’t mind taking Jane Russell for a picnic behind the wheel of that 1930 Cord!
A happy and kosher Passover to you and yours.
I love the Shapiro watch.
I feel like Howard Hughes had a definite “type”… and I’ll bet his limo had Dagmar bumpers too!
The Army Passover photo caught my eye. My dad was in the Army at the time, although he was stationed at Fort Lee.
Oh my! Offspring #2 looks SO serious in that photo. Her offspring look less serious in your photos.
Have a wonderful Sabbath!
