MOVING FORWARD TO 1978
For the past couple of months the photos have been from the 1973 files. I temporarily mislaid the July-October 1973 files, but I recently found them, exactly where I left them.

Thanks to those who responded to the Obama question. The answers were posted on my blog this past week. I found the variety of responses quite interesting, and I hope you did, too.
