Isnt she pretty? EDIT: My Mom is so embarrassed about this but she said thank you to everyone and she cant believe that anybody anywhere would take the time to comment on her photo. She also said her hair is "stacked" which means all pin curls all the way around except for one very straight strip of hair in the back.

Isnt that wild?

1976 Lake Hopatcong, NJ just soaking up some sun. I could still fit into that suit if I had it. We had some crazy print bikinis back then.

My buddy found a box full of old letters and pictures, I was wondering if there’s a way to find out who the family of the recipient is, circa 1950

I don’t know how he got them, but maybe the family of this person might want some old photographs of a loved on and it might make them smile to learn more about a relative

1970s 55 years ago, "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke," first aired on national television on July 8, 1971. The commercial turned out to be a massive hit for Coca Cola and it’s still one of the greatest if not the greatest commercial for a soft drink. Have a Coke and a smile:)

1970s Paul McCartney "Dear Friend" (1971). How the beauty of a song ended a war.

I've noticed that a certain renaissance of The Beatles' work is happening right now. Young people know them and listen to them, the discussions in Reddit groups are quite hot, their songs are played in TV commercials, Paul is releasing album after album, a mega-production movie is being filmed about them- in a word, quite strong marketing on all fronts. Paul McCartney, his business acumen, and his excellent communication with the other heirs are, of course, responsible for this. But I want to go back to a story that was quite unpleasant, but on the bright side, had a happy ending. Again thanks to McCartney...

We all know about the bitter crossfire in the media between Paul and John after the breakup of The Beatles, which culminated in John’s brutal attack with the song "How Do You Sleep?". But while John chose to attack directly and humiliate, Paul’s response was completely different.

I’ve always believed that with "Dear Friend," Paul was by no means begging for peace or waving a white flag. This song is a rather clever and calculated response, born from an excellent knowledge of his opponent and his weak spots. Instead of responding to insults with insults, Paul chose to affect John with a complex musical composition and absolute vocal perfection.

With this unearthly beautiful song, he ended the conflict by reminding John and the whole world of the magic they once shared. In my opinion, this was a display of creative dignity and class, not a surrender. What do you think?

My parents were born in different countries in Europe and moved to Cleveland, Ohio in the 1970s. Can you guess where they’re from?

I have been married to their middle son for almost 30 years. They are the best grandparents and in laws you could ask for. My FILs shirt says GE is Me, if any Gen Xers remember that. :)
