Stacey, no.. the funniest part was that my dad realized it was time for them to go (it was '79) - so that was it - he never grew them back, lol LOL Panda yea Aqua Net was like gold. I can still remember when my cousin introduced me to this powerful tip / necessity Escapee - LOL. think I kept mine for about 3-6 months (not long enough to get it captured on film) Prisoner, LOL sounds like 80s hair at its finest, would love to see a pic. your rocket scientist dad must have been proud i rarely go to the salon anymore either

Here's the Olin Mills type shot
Brother and Sisters- check out those hairdos Baby sister's wedding - had my baby two weeks later.
Sisters at oldest sis' wedding - more hairdos.
Our leisure suit and midi dress wedding! Long sideburns on him, and hair piled on top of my head with long side curls. My slip was showing, too.
Reception. Look at the high waist flowered top dress, and those checkered pants!

Aiyiyi, I had forgotten about the checkered pants! My Dad had those. Is there an exhibit at the Smithsonian about fashions through the decades? Those pants deserve a place in that exhibt!

MB, what you called galoshes we called rubbers. This was in the days before prophylactics were called rubbers. We had boots that we wore over our shoes in the snow in the winter. They came about four inches above the ankle and had I think a plaid flannel lining. They fastened in the front with metal fold-over metal clasps. Closest thing I can find to them in Google images is this. We called them galoshes or just snow boots.
Ours were dull red, brown, or white rubber, not shiny like these and with same colored sole.

LOL my mom has aged very well--still thin as a rail and healthy. My dad took the Elvis route--the Vegas years. Bloated and full of cheeseburgers. I myself am taking the Vegas Elvis route as well.
Here is my grandmother on dad's side. Very pretty. My sister looks quite a bit like her. I have wanted to start an anchestry thread for some time. As soon as I get my papers in order I will.
