Is it just me? but looking at old school photographs of children makes me sad. As I look at alll their innocent faces.I'm thinking they have all their lives in front of them, but now I suppose most of them or gone.
Perhaps I look at life to deeply?
Hey Ron; thus was ever so....
Ron,I always get sad looking at old photos,I was once told that I think too deep.
Thank you for sharing this photo - my mother was born in 1925 and is very much alive and kicking! Lancashire born and bred, she now resides in Kansas - land of Dorothy and Oz and yes, tornadoes! She said she went to school at age 4 and these children look about that age. Again, thank you for sharing!
Hi Maureen nothing wrong in thinking about life. A fascinating subject with many questions and answers. Now,
"WHY ARE WE HERE"???????

Well Ron,I've asked that question so many times,the more I find out about space,the universe etc,the more I wonder just why God created us,but I'm so glad he did.
winnie just been told the j.Brown is an irene Brown
Ron I know the answer to "WHY ARE WE HERE"............Coz we're not all there.:-)
Hi Cloie,
I found out 10 years ago, after doing my family history, that I have about 400 American "cousins" practically all in Kansas, which as you know is a big place. Are your folk anywhere near Hiawatha? which is not far from Kansas City (70 miles away) and Witchita?
looking at oldpictures always make me feel sorry for the time that passes withoutn using most it
Thomas does your mam know if there was Pilkingtons in the class?
my mum is on this. Alice Aspinall. She is 87now and in a care home
