On January 24, 2020 Laura and Charlie and I went to the Ohio History Center
There was an exhibit about the year 1950. Building the American Dream.
I don’t believe I posted these photos cause several of them were upside down. I righted them and am sharing today.
My father attended the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. I remember he took a train to DC and it was really really cold. The rest of the memorabilia is at my son’s house.
This is one of the buttons he brought home as a souvenir.
Anyone still collect matchbooks? Do restaurants still have them in a large glass snifter for the taking? I know people who’ve collected colorful and interesting ones from fancy or fun establishments-but years ago.
Brides and Grooms names on matchbook covers were once a popular wedding favor.
I saw this matchbook at my son and DIL’s home, and wasn’t sure how long they’ve had it. I keep the same brand of kitchen matches in a drawer- like box.
