Subject: [Leica] Good Old Kodachrome...

These are wonderful, Steve, thanks for posting them.  I'm pretty sure saw 
these photos in a book in our local library a few months ago.  So if 
anybody wants to have them (plus many more) in print, a bit of Googling 
would probably produce the title.

Since we're in a "memory lane" mood, here are some of my Mom's pictures 
from 1951 or so, 12 years after the pictures Steve posted. Still the 
original Kodachrome, ASA 10(!), on a Bolsey B2 RF. I came along two years 
later.

parents got married. My grandfather designed patterns and dresses, and 
often adapted cast-offs from work for his daughters:
