  1. THL, thanks. She was considered the kosher version of Marilyn Monroe.

    I love photos like that too. Remember the old black and white dancing one I posted here once? I could stare at it for hours. Imagine all the stories that could be told of things that went down in those now decrepit Catskills resorts. It’s sad to see the condition they are in now.

  2. I flew out of old Kai Tak and it was thrilling. Flying across outer mongolia in an old bird was terrifying. The only time I had to tie myself into a seat, should have paid more attention in cub scouts.
