Description
My mother is sitting in the passenger seat looking back at the camera. All the people are her high school friends. Looks like some parents behind everyone. The picture was taken in 1940 or 41 in Bell California. Pearl Harbor and WW2 was going to happen very soon. Most of those in the picture enlisted in the military and many of them gave their lives for us and our country. "The Greatest Generation".

beautiful and eerie at the same time, eerie in a touching way---ie, that various men in these images were taken by the horrors of that war. Everyone is smiling too, and in such an old relic of a convertible. The soft focus makes it even more of a memory. Your mother looks beautiful, even if she's out of focus; and your history brings this to life. Thanks again for sharing. These pics relate to many of us.
