I've never seen a picture of Marilyn where she didn't look stunningly beautiful and still have that down home appeal at the same time...You know, like your wife when she gets all dressed up.

I've looked at this photo long and hard and I am pretty sure that is a Japanese Kawanishi "Emily" flying boat. That means these guys were probably part of the early occupying forces in Japan.

never forget how Norm's car, plus rowdy Edd "Kookie" Byrnes,
virtually made "77 Sunset Strip" a late-'50s TV hit for Warner

farnumfamily.org for this retrospective!!! THANKS!
Yep!---'ol Norm is quite a guy!---If you ever meet him, ask him to whistle with his mouth CLOSED!!-----Don

My Studebaker has seats like that. Lots of folks thought that only Nash had them but they were offered by other brands as well. Oh, and I got my Stude after all the drive-ins around here were gone!

All the pictures I posted fall between 1915 and 1927 (to the best of my knowledge)
