Old Photos - L Verge - 11-21-2016 02:35 PM
Did not want to interrupt any readings of Angela's report on the Lincoln Forum, so am posting this suggestion of something to view under this topic. Lots of photos, but you can stop whenever you get bored. I enjoyed the old photo of Teddy Roosevelt as a teenager.

Thanks for sharing, Laurie. The photo of Thomas Edison, John Burroughs, and Henry Ford was taken close to where Vicki and I live.

Somewhere, there is a photo of Betty, Joan Chaconas, and I with several of our friends standing under a huge Banyan tree (did I spell and identify that "shrub" correctly?) near that spot. It was taken over twenty years ago when Betty spoke to a group in Ft. Myers shortly after her Powell book was released. Absolutely beautiful area.

The huge banyan tree is still there at the Edison Home. Here is a 16 second video that captures the enormity of it:

The home and laboratory of Alexander Graham Bell still stands in Georgetown. One of Teddy Roosevelt's home is on Brancroft Street in the Kalorama neighborhood. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, oldest child of TR, lived on Dupont Circle. Her home still stands next to the Embassy Row Hotel on Massachusetts Ave.

Thanks for sharing Laurie. The photo of Indianapolis looks like it could have been taken in Vatican City.
