Seeing the photo of the laying of the railroad tracks reminded me of the AMC channel series, HELL ON WHEELS. It started last Sunday but you can still catch the pilot tonight at 10 pm. The second installment will be on AMC tomorrow, Sunday at 9 or 10 pm. A very violent show but a high quality production.
ReplyDeleteI swear there's a pic of me with my 1st or 2nd grade class that is pretty similar to that teacher and students pic.
ReplyDeleteThe Skating Party reminds me of my days skating on a pond, no girls allowed, when I was in the 8th or ninth grade. Nice selection of pics!
ReplyDeleteOnly two customers... it must not have been happy hour at the Toll Gate
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of track laying, "just plant them on the ground!"
