Way Back When Wednesday

Remember the days when newspapers had a Society Page? Well, here is an example of the fun items that were included: our mother and our 3-year old brother Chris–newly shorn of his locks because his grandmother insisted–posing in our grandparents garden.
I think our mother looks pretty but a bit strained. Indeed, she was not pleased about Chris’s buzz-cut and she really did not like the resulting photo. I will refrain from further comment.

Nice pic…love those old newspaper clippings! The date brings back memories… I was a high school exchange student living in Istanbul, Turkey when this was published. They really liked us then…we could use a little of that “like” today.
Indeed!
This is so great! I think Mary looks pretty and Chris looks…special 🙂
I don’t know what our grandmother was thinking with that buzz cut — maybe she was inspired by Bruce and Stephen, but I like Mother’s dress and she does look pretty.
Wow, I never realized Dad was such a high society guy when he was a kid!
Everything is relative. It was Worcester, MA after all.
