My son Mark, (uncle to Charlie) on the left holding his brother Matthew, Philadelphia Christmas 1980.
My grandson Charlie on the right, holding “Henny” Pittsburgh, January 2019.
(Yes, the couch used to be jewel red)
The brand of shirt was Health-Tex and I’d say it held up quite well. Who knows why I saved it.
Very nice, Ruth
Thanks Keith.
Nothing like hanging onto well made clothing! Cute pix!
Thanks Mary Kay
I hope it’s kept for Charlie’s generation!
Wouldn’t that be great, Gilly. Seems this generation doesn’t want to keep stuff, though.
That’s for sure! They just plain don’t want stuff😊
I think our generation had a harder time of it, here in the UK anyway. Thinks aren’t really made to last.
Ruth – This is fantastic! I love the contrasts in these two photos! Brilliant, in my not-so-humble opinion! It sort of reminds me of the Brown sisters, “Forty Portraits in Forty Years”, from the New York Times, October 3, 2014:

Wow, that’s quite a compliment Ken. Thank you. I love the years of Brown sisters photos. Thanks for sharing the link for others to see them.
How fun!
Thanks Amy.
Adorable!
Thanks Pam.
Very cute. Some things are worth hanging onto. Henny might fall into that category. 😉
Awww thank you. Maybe Henny will have someone take a photo in 38 years.
Wonderful! The shirt still looks like new. 👏🏻😍
Sylvia it looks really good considering the age of it. Thanks for your visit and comment today.
Obviously not ‘Made in China’.
You saved it because you knew Charlie would look just as cute in it as Mark did.😁
Ha! Good one Sue.
Nice way to compare two generations many years apart from each other at the same location, Ruth!
You saved that couch and that shirt for this darling photo. Charlies looks remarkably like his uncle.
It’s lovely to look back, remember and compare… for all generations x
Wow, what a terrific side-by-side! It reminds me of the images of past family gatherings that people re-create, X number of years later… https://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/these-people-went-all-out-recreating-their-childhood-photos/
Thanks for the link.
