I think my mother, god bless her, saved this for my daughter who was born in 1976. I will make sure she gets it — eventually. In the mean time, it is protected in plastic, but not sealed. I haven’t looked to see if they covered the controversial and very interesting Alice Roosevelt.
And below are the inside face pages, surprisingly, the brand of cigarettes I smoked for years! Until they (Virginia Slims) came out with super slims, then I smoked those. I’ll post more from this relic from time-to-time.
My mother’s linen closet also held some copies of Life magazine — in her case, covering the JFK presidency and assassination. Archivists of what mattered to them, and they wanted us to remember.
I saved all the main sections of the newspaper aboutt he JFK assassination, moon landing and others when I was in jr high. Unfortunately, an ex boyfriends stole all of them and so much more to sell when they were 25 years old. My mother still had this one back them, so it survived.
