Thanks for these memories. Yes we take too much for granted, and often forget our grand-parents have had to fight for what we have now. Let’s be grateful and respectful and do not allow ourselves to spill their sacrifices !

Love this : History isn’t just something that happened... it’s something our forebears lived. Every era, no matter how distant, was filled with lives as vivid and complex as our own. What stood out? all of them , for each displays Hope, courage, rising above tragedy ( the 1951 marathon), living vibrantly despite war (bride photo), unbounded job ( daddy's home, and the boy with shoes). I will share these photos with my students. May I ask where you found the archive for these?
