Vintage shots from days gone by!

I don't know why there are so many pictures of Marysville, it isn't that big.

 

This is plain weird. The caption says "This black and white photograph shows a group of U. S. astronauts at Don Horigan's home north of Frankfort, Kansas. The astronauts came to Kansas to hunt on the Horigan farm. Back row (left to right): Neil Armstrong, Stuart Rossa, William Anders, James Lovell and Donald K "Deke" Slayton. Front row (left to right): Kansas native Ron Evans, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, unknown, and unknown." But some of those photos look cut and pasted to me. I'm sure the photo is 1967, but....even then, photos were messed with sometimes.

 

This one looks more "real."

"Stuart Rossa, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin in striped shirt, Captain James Lovell in plaid shirt and Donald K. "Deke" Slayton. The men are speaking with flying farmer Lyle Jones of Frankfort, Kansas, at the Don Horigan home north of Frankfort."

 

1914, not my Grandma who would have been 24 by then and one year from giving birth to my Mom.

An "Alternate Caption" Double header!

Alternate Caption No. 1 - "Meet
Mr. Clarence P. Nerdfurghler Jr.
III...a denizen of the Twilight Zone
and a man, sadly, so utterly and
terminally boring, so nerdy and so
devoid of personality, that even a
'56 Chevy sedan with whitewall
tires and an uber-and-ultra snazzy
chrome-rimmed Continental kit,
ordered straight from the latest
J.C.Whitney catalog even, could
not save him from himself!"
============================
D[ALTERNATE CAPTION No. 2 - "Bert
didn't feel at all good about it and
in his heart, he knew it was probably
wrong,. But Bert was also a 'moral
relativist', a 'social-Darwinist' and
moreover, he was a realist, albeit with
some deep seated sociopath-like
tendencies, and some rather off-putting
Freudian 'mother' issues. But, now
what with his job and 12-years of
loyal service and seniority down at
the factory, gone forever, outsourced
to a sweatshop in India - and with the
bank, practically every day now,
threatening foreclosure on the already
way underwater mortgage on the
family's modest two-bedroom home,
and with 13 kids, all under ten-years
old, to feed and clothe - and now, his
wife, sweet, beautiful Betty, pregnant
with triplets again, he figured that a
"job is a job" and a "man's gotta' do
what a man's gotta' do" and that
even working in a mafia-owned
'chop shop', cutting up stolen cars,
many of which he recognized as
belonging to his friends, neighbours
and relatives even, was still better
than nothing."!!!

That's a neat pic. I recognized Deke Slayton and Jim Lovell before I read your caption. The two unknown guys probably had some touch-up around their hair so it would not blend into the background.

Great pics today Starwalker!! Especially the Marysville gas stations.

 

Starwalker; the two unknowns are Gordon Cooper and Ken Mattingly.

 

haha scan the picture very, very close to the screen and miss the Corvair!!

 

The two unknowns have definitely had their heads replace, probably didn't wanna be in the picture for some reason.

 

It's you, ain't it )

 

Upside down, white, to the right of the green farm impliment????

 

The first "unknown" looks like it's Gordon Cooper.

 

The other unknown is Alan Bean.

 

You missed the red one in the junk pile.

 

Good lord I'm blind. Sometimes the most obvious is the hardest to see.
