mom on television, 1956

I love this series of photos: my mother was interviewed on local Pennsylvania television in 1956 about Christian Endeavor, for which she served as regional secretary.

She doesn't remember the identity of the gentleman to her right, but he's wearing a CE jacket.


You can just make out the bric-a-brac on top of the television and shelves in the background.

There are so many wonderful aspects to these photos - Mom's pearls, the man's flat-top, the clearness of the screen contrasting with the ghostly background, and the link to a forgotten bit of family history.
