Post an iconic picture from your cell phone. Here is my mom

[applegrove]

on a beach in Nova Scotia in the late 1950s. My mom was born there. She was such a country girl.

3. She worked at Keltic Lodge in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

summers when she was in med school in Halifax. You can see it in the background. It is still there though I think it is closed for refurbishment

2. Wow, they had cell phones in the 1950's? I did not know that

Anyways, I'll play. My mom at her HS Senior Ball, in Altadena, CA, 1962. The man in the photo is her friend Walter, and she was his 'beard' at a time when gay young men in HS did not come out, but Walter had done so with my mom. She and Walter remain friends to this day and see each other fairly regularly. Walter has been with his now-husband since I was a kid in the 70's, I remember the two of them coming over for dinner. Walter and hubby lived in the Castro for YEARS in the 70's and 80's and were married in SF literally on THE DAY it became legal for them to do so.

8. So hard to lose your father at such a young age.

I know. There are two young widows in my family. Love the clothes and the hat. So proud you must be of the antifa in your past.

when photographers were all professionals.
