Peter,
Thanks for showing a slice of the 50's.  Just about three generations
ago, life was a lot different.

You liked the wedding?  See the sequel!  Here are more scans from my 
"motherlode" of old Kodachrome slides from the early 50s. I've added two

new albums.  Be warned that there is some blurring in quite a few of the

pictures, usually the result of capturing real life with the slow
shutter 
speeds often required by ASA 10 film. And because my Dad could not hold
a 
camera steady--my Mom was the photographer.  Pictures taken with a
Bolsey 
B2 rangefinder.

First off, I have to point out this shot, because of the numbers 
prominently displayed in the picture:

And now, the albums:

My parents' honeymoon on Cape Cod:

Miscellaneous pictures from the early 50s.

My parent's wedding pictures are still here:

Enjoy the nostalgia, and dig those crazy hairdos and jazzy jalopies!

--Peter
