I LOVE these LIFE magazine series you’re doing. This one is awesome. It reminds me of that photos you posted a while back, of a former KC Star Editor and the current. Because before the bed photo I was assuming this man and his wife were in their 60s. So then when I got to the bedroom shot I thought it was their grandchidren, but the caption says children? People did used to look older then, didn’t they? Best Ford Dealer

Jan, thanks for your comment, I am always fascinated when I hear from the people or relatives of people featured in these Life photos. You must have a lot of great memories from your childhood.
The other comments are just banter between my friends.They are not directly related to the photos.
Did you know you can now read the entire Life article here http://bit.ly/aYZlIx ?

I just came across this website with the pictures from the Life magazine we were in. It was a comparison between St Louis & Kansas City, & my father represented Kansas City. Daddy was born in 1910 so he was 44 at this time. My parents were unable to have children so they started adopting us when they were in their mid-30′s. Yes, that bed was a huge chore to make! We kept that bed until 1989! The Saddle & Sirloin Club was an equestrian club & the members rode in parades, did drills in the American Royal, & took trips for trail rides. It was a Riding Club, & the costumes were worn by all the members & decorated individually. My parents portraits were painted by Queen Elizabeth’s personal artist in one set of their costumes & are on display in a museum in England. Our house was on the corner of 65th & Ward Parkway, & every year at Christmas we had a manger scene in our yard, plus lots of other decorations, lights, santa claus, etc. I’m not sure I understand why there are references to Jews, Purim & Reform theology, but we are Episcopalians. It was fun reading some of the comments.

Oh, you’re right. Well, now you know I’m not Catholic.
