It’s weird looking at these pictures. For whatever reason, I always think of everything in black and white from those earlier periods in history - I guess because the majority of the photos you find are in black and white.

Cascade, Idaho, July 1941

My parents were around this age at that time. I’ve seen them in old photos and recognize the style of clothes and such. My mom used to talk about how cold her legs would get walking to school in the winter.
