Memory Monday: Fort Bragg flashback

My first five images today are from our family slide collection, shot in approximately 1971 and shared previously back in January 2018. The remainder are prints showing Fort Bragg’s Noyo Harbor in 1967. My sister was kind enough to mail them to me awhile back, and I kept forgetting to publish them, until now!

Memory Monday on a break

Memory Monday is on a break today. I’ll see you again next week! In the meantime, here are a couple of re-scans of vintage commercial slides dating back to the 1950s.

Memory Monday, Week 155

I first visited, and explored, the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, during the spring of 1974 (I shared my photos of that trip back in June 2017); but my images this week all date from 1983 — when we didn’t enter the ship but went only as far as the parking lot. Nowadays, the Queen Mary is closed for […]
