So, time to harvest some pommes.

How Rare! The Bronx Zoo

 

As I have said, 2,318 times, it's weird the things that you find in a box of slides.  Like a photograph of a photograph.

Tonight, my plan of an evening of political discourse, obscene discussions and a moderate intake of alcohol was thwarted by Mr H heading off to visit Dublin Zoo.  So, here's a  picture of Laurance Rockefeller, Fairfield Osborn, Capt. Jean Delacour, Allyn Jennings, and Raymond Ditmars holding a baby chimpanzee, sitting at a table having tea at the Bronx Zoo in New York. From a 1941 edition of Vogue.

Probably related to this pic in the Getty Archives.

The Dedication of the Herbert M Munroe Elementary School

 

From the rather blurred plaque in the background, I'm think that the Herbert M Munroe Elementary School is probably what is now know as the Munroe Elementary , in Denver, CO

Digging in Google, 

Munroe Elementary, dedicated on 1962 was named in honor of Herbert M. Munroe, an appointed Attorney for the Denver Board of Education from 1897 until 1932, serving a thirty-five year span. He was a graduate of East High School class of 1891. As an advocate for public education he was instrumental in the securing of land for new elementary schools, and continuously advised the School Board to place high schools adjacent to city parks. Munroe served as a participant in the Big Brother movement, Old Timers Baseball Association, the Y.M.C.A., and Sons of the American Revolution, he died February 22, 1950 while refereeing for the Colorado State Industrial Commission. 

So, that's interesting.

Bonus : As we may have a few more American visitors than usual, here's something to annoy 50% of them. 

The Caribbean Feast

 

The other slides in the set show a happy bride and groom, so I'm presuming that this is the post wedding meal.

Shameful that the chefs also turned up in white. Attention-grabbers.

Bonus - A topographic map of South America s rather surprising. It's hollow.

Mrs Flowers, happy. Very Happy.

 Mrs Edna Flowers was, as expected, happy to be at her daughter's wedding.

But... THAT happy?

According to the prosecution, she had inadvertently consumed FOUR of the celebratory hash-brownies that her ister had prepared.

Bonus - How Odd.

The Talent Show - Three Fishermen

 

From a set of slides of a school's talent show. These would appear to be the guys doing "The Fishermen Sketch". And I bet it went down a storm.

And now ... The Honeymoon

 

From a box of slides with several of the actually wedding breakfast...and this one of the happy couple heading off for a honeymoon in Scranton, New Jersey. Or somewhere similar.

Bonus - In 1998, these SF men got a tattoo to snag free tacos for life. Here's what happened after.
