Couldn't see any more after 9

I loved the picture of the Native Chief. It was BEAUTIFUL!! But my favorite, colored or otherwise, was the "Easter Eggs for Hitler".

Virginia Abreu De Paula

I have a doubt. Why some of them have the name of a person above? Are they the owners of the pictures? It is curios because above The Beatles picture we see the name of Robert Downey Sr...It is Robert Downey Jr's father!

#5:Even an award-winning actress couldn’t convey what can be read in this mother’s eyes. I wonder what happened to her.

Margaret Louise Gifford, The Four Winds is excellent!

Margaret Louise Gifford

The Migrant Mother, what a story of hardship & sadness her face tells. Just finished reading The Four Winds, as Baby Boomers we have no idea what people had to do to survive.

Love the photo of the native American. Can't tell it was taken over 100yrs ago. So vivid. The photo of the Catholic school is scary. Nuns from my childhood still haunt me lol

Jean Kellum

I have NEVER commented on any of your stories before, but I must say these are some wonderful, emotionally stirring pictures and I enjoyed your works very much.
