1980 Business Card Photo Challenge... Who's Brave Enough?

Mike in Tucson, circa 1980

My Darlin' says I have a lot of nerve posting this photo.

It's me. Thirty years ago in upstate New York...

Do you still have a business card photo from that ancient date?
Are you brave enough to endure the LMAO's?
Would ANYONE you know in the Rain be able to put your "today" photo together with your 1980 photo?

Oh, I know there are those out there who haven't changed the glamour photo on your business card in the last decade. Some of you are right here in Tucson, working for... Well, never mind. I'd only get in trouble.

Anyhow, those of you who were in diapers in 1980 needn't comment. Let's hear from those who were born before 1960.

Don't be shy. And please do upload a photo. Tell us where you were when it was taken. LOL!

NOV

I don't even have any from that long ago!

I did have a business card in 1980 but it didn't have my picture on it and it wasn't for real estate. And, I was born after 1960, so I won't be posting a picture. I'll watch to see who does though!!

June,

Stay tuned. This could get interesting!

Sandra,

I'll bet you do. They're outside in the garage in a dusty box. You just have to scan them in. (Thanks for not being the first to laugh.)

Mike in Tucson

I wasn't born 30 years ago :(.

There is one agent though that still uses his 30-year old photo. Oy!

I was NOT in diapers...but I couldn't vote yet either. LOL!! I do remember the market here in the early 80s!! My parents were thrilled to find an assumable loan on a home in a nice neighborhood. The WONDERFUL rate was......13%!! How times have changed!

Sonja,

Yes they have!

Jane,

Brag, brag, brag. LOL

Mike in Tucson

I wasn't in diapers but I don't think I knew what a business card was... maybe? I was in Finland trying to grow up :). However your photo brings back some memories of those days - LOL. ~Rita

I so wish I had one, but I don't. The best I can do are some high school and college pictures from 1970-1977, but I don't even know where they are right now. I'll endeavo(u)r to find something.

Russel,

That would be fun. Come on back!

Rita,

And you were doing a good job of it. LOL

Mike in Tucson

Ok - Had to find something - but here you go... Kathryn Gorham

1975 college formal

Junior in high school is all I can find on the spur of the moment:

Junior in high school

Russel & Kathryn,

I'd put your "then" and "now" photos together! Thanks for looking up old times!

Mike in Tucson

I will try to find something..no business cards but your email gives me an idea.

Margaret,

We're waiting with anticipation...

Mike in Tucson

15 years old....1971

Sally,

Thanks for the photo! (the guy in the yellow shirt must be in the witness protection program.)

Mike in Tucson

Haha. I may be able to come up with a work ID photo. No business cards back in 1980.

I came back to say that my glasses will be as big as yours are! LOL! I used to hide behind them. BTW, I'm not sure I would have recognized you back then. hehehe

LOL - Russel's photo rocks! Ok, here is one - oh, wait - I think I was still wearing diapers... LOL. This certainly wasn't a business card material! ~Rita (1971 I think)
Finland growing up

Rita,

Too cute! And how many current AR Profile photos are children?!

Doreen,

Photos. We want photos!

Mike in Tucson

Didn't have a biz card yet - heck, not even old enough to shave regularly! TucsonKent photo sometime around 1980 or 1981

Mike, this is a hoot, I will look for one, but all my stuff is in storage. I just threw out a bunch of old cards last month from Merrill Lynch in the 1980's. Ouch!

Jim,

Timing is everything. LOL

Kent,

You were just a lad! LOL

Mike in Tucson

Margaret Woda, Crofton Real Estate

You asked for it. Here's my business card photo from the 80's. I actually put it into a little collage with my 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000+ business card photos to create a postcard touting my experience. Can't say anyone ever cited that as the reason they called me, however.

I did love those curls when perms were "in".

Margaret,

Who wouldn't put your "then" and "now" photos together? And the perm actually looked good on you (as opposed to what mine did back then. LOL)

Mike in Tucson

Mike, I have to say that you are much more handsome now. (Or am I just "over" the 80's look?)

Margaret,

My Darlin' knew me back then. She wouldn't go out with me, either. Go figure! LOL

Mike in Tucson

NOV

Mike, I'll search tomorrow and share! I don't think I had a business card photo, but I'll find something to share. ;-) I LOVE your old one. ;-)

Hi Mike, I know I have one. So I will try and locate it . As I recal I had a beard if you can imagine that, LOL My friends hated it when I shaved it off for Real Estate.

OK, I wasn't going to be the one to bring it up, but since someone else did, I think you look better now than back then!

Only one I could find at the moment, 1982 Pennsville Memorial HS track

Larry Hultberg 1982

Man, I just squeeked in under the wire. ha. This was just after I came home from Turkey. Memphis, Tn. '81

Lenn 1980s

At the Maryland annual State Trap Championship Shoot. Circa 1980, or so.

Oh - Lenn - laughing here. Thanks for the photo - I ain't messing with you girl.

Kathryn,

My feelings exactly! If ever there was a photo that would cause a blog-jacking, that's the one! Ain't she cute?! LOL

Lenn,

Looks like we had the same perm. Too funny. LOVE the shotgun. Beretta?

Jesse,

Home from Turkey? That doesn't look much like a military haircut!

Larry,

You had the girls' hearts going pitter pat!

Doreen,

I thought for sure you'd be the first to give me a guffaw!

William,

C'mon back with a photo!

Teri,

Can't wait! LOL

Mike in Tucson

Oh man Mike some of these are a riot! I wish I had an old card but no such luck.

Bill,

You've got to try harder. We want to see a photo with HAIR! LOL

Mike in Tucson

Mike, The best I can do is 1984ish. 27 years old

1986

Broker Bryant,

Love the legs! Now if you can find one of TLW with a gun to compete with that photo (above) of Lenn... LOL

Mike in Tucson

Hey Mike,

Just came back from my vacation and you already want me to work! No, there is no doubt that only you can think of something like that...LOL...

What a fun idea and look at all of us - we used to be young and pretty now we are only pretty...heheh..

here is a couple from around 1980

With smiles,

Bo in Yukon

Bo Kociuba ca 1978 in Poland by Bo Kociuba

Does this mean Lenn and TLW are related?

You should do a "AR women with guns" post next.

I have got to dig out one from late 80s of me in Michigan, rabbit hunting in the snow.... complete with shotgun in one hand and rabbits in the other.

Hi Mike, Circa mid 1980's in my office.

Mitch Hall 1980's

Mitch,

Look at all that black hair! LOL (I should talk...)

Erica,

I'm looking forward to that!

Mike in Tucson

No biz card, but here I am in 1985 at 20 years old!

Don't have a business card but ... In keeping with the "gun" theme.

Karen and Steve in Boston

Karen,

Girls with guns... and now, booze! LOL

Jeannie,

What a lovely bride you were!

Mike in Tucson

Hey Lenn, where you going with that gun in your hand?

Mike - Fun concept here. I'll have to do some digging (with a little help from my Mother) and I will be back later:)

No business card picture (wasn't in R.E then) but here are some 80 pictures of Kat (then I am going to go throw up because TOO much has changed)

Mike,

You asked for it.

This is a high school cross country photo circa 1985. The other one is the parking lot at Sunrise Ski Area up in the White Mountains circa 1987. Fun stuff. Sorry, no business cards until the 90's.

GOOD MORNING MIKE! OK - I told you I would find one with a Farrah Fawcett hairdo - here it is - chubby face and all! Munich, Germany, college freshman - and a nervous one to boot! Why wouldn't I smile I wonder! This was a fun trip down memory lane! -- Gabrielle

Mike, I still go to the same barber but he charges 1/2 the price now for 1/2 the hair! lol

Mike,

I will have to wait until I visit my folks in Montreal to be able to come up with a photo of what I looked like in the 1980's. Thanks for the invite to this post. Lots of interesting photos and happy memories of the good old 80's on here. :)

Mike drinking beer at the Hoffbrau House

Sorry MIke, 1995 was the closest I could coome on short notice!

I was drinking a "small beer" at the Hoffbrau House in Munich, Germany. :-)

Mike

Ok. but no LMAO's.... had no bus cards back then, but dug these up from the year 1980.

TLW - these were my guns back in the day... lol~

Ok people... here I am and here is Jason Sardi.... needless to say, these can be anywhere in the 80's, right???

Here's little Jason... (gosh babe, I LOVE you in a suit!!)

Little Jason Sardi at 4 years old!

and here I am... (yes, don't ask, I am a little older than he is ;-))

Jennifer Monroe in the 80's

Hey, Mike. This is absolutely the best post I have seen in a long time. I will have to run home and dig up some photos. Be back soon, Jim

And for the record, I was out of diapers at the tender age of four (when the above pics were taken). It wasn't until I was 15 until I started wearing diapers again:)

No business card from the 80's... i was teaching school at that time... I enjoyed seeing everyone else though... Thanks for sharing

At present I do not have any pictures of me from the 80's

Mike - Ok, here we go.... from the late 80's. Actually this might be from the early 90's... The memories are fading....ugh... From my last real rock and roll band just across the Hudson River from the World Trade Towers in Liberty State Park.... This is fun stuff....

Bob Hammerstein

Hi Mike - Fun post! Love to see some of these "oldies but goodies of our fellow illustrious AR members. Well, no photo on a business card in the 80's, but here you go! How about a Thousand Oaks High School Senior Photo from 1980:

Karen - still jailbait

LOL @Jason Sardi's comment! This Post bookmarked due to the "High" entertainment factor here. :-)

Here you go MikeThese are from 1975 and 1976 Paddy 1975 1976

Hey Mike, GREAT response from everyone. I searched and came up with a photo taken in 1984 - driver's license. This is the best I could do.;-)

Teri Ellis 1984

Teri,

Thanks for playing!

Paddy,

Ditto!

Brad,

It's too much fun for a workday. LOL

Karen,

That works!

Robert,

Rock & Roll!

Paul,

I hope you can find some. Come on back.

Karen,

Jason,

Thanks for the explanation. LOL

Jim,

We're looking forward to your return! Thanks for playing.

Jennifer,

Thanks for digging up the photos of Jason, you cradle robber, you... LOL

Brad,

You still rock!

Mike,

That's one heck of a brew! Whoa!

Gerry,

At the rate this post is adding photos, we'll still be here, I'm thinking! C'mon back.

Mitch,

In this market, that's not all bad!

Gabrielle,

You were too cute!

Patrick,

I know you must have taken a lot of grief for that photo on the right. Didn't I see it on Facebook?

Kat,

Thanks for being a good sport and posting the photos!

Jason,

Thanks for following up!

Mike in Tucson

I have moved to Chicago and I do NOT have my stuff with me YET... it will take a while.........

Thanks for askin....

This is really fun! Here is my photo, with husband and daughter, taken in 1982:

christmas morning

Hey Mike great photo, hee hee!! I was only in Jr High so I can't post a business card but I'll post my Sr pic from 1984!!

Sr Photo

Hi Mike , this was a very cool idea. My scanner is a bit weak it seems as the resolution is aweful but who cares. Here is me circa earlier 1980's. Beard and all. Isn't it amazing what the digital camera has done for all of us. At the same time , getting older doesn't look any better with better resolution, LOL. The 2nd photo is my very first Real Estate Photo in 1989

There are some treasures being dug up.. Great post, Mike. My time in Turkey was civil service; Kathy's the veteran in our home.

Okay, here goes! I started in 1979 and this was on a card that I sent out.

Barbara Duncan 1979

How about 1979......I licensed the same year I turned 18......here she is..... julie chapman 1979

(I feel like I look like I just did something bad......or maybe I always looked like that then.....oh, I was always doing something bad.....lol)

I remember a photo with my hair in corn rows and beads....I am going to look for it - it is so 80's......

Before extensive surgery and the implementation of moisturizer, this following was the picture I sent into a local Modeling Agency (who ended up crushing my dream in their response):

It was a Winchester 101 12 ga.

Mike - This is a hoot! I wasn't in real estate in the 80's so no business card to include....but here's a couple I dug up under the cobwebs. The first one is when I was pregnant with my first child in December 1978. The second is circa 1980 but I have no idea where it was taken. :)

Mike, I have nothing in digital format, I'll have to see what I can dig up and will post tomorrow.

Hi Mike,

What a fun idea. My 1st job out of LSU in Baton Rouge was Territory Sales Supervisor w/M&M Mars. What a fun job!

I'm from TX and had BIG HAIR. The best I could do was 1982 w/my family in front of the fireplace... Now I have short hair and live in NC.....That was a LONG time ago!

Tracy Santrock - 1982 Photo

Tracy,

It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys! LOL

Suesan,

We'll be looking forward to what you can find. :)

Donna,

You're right! It IS a hoot! Thanks for the pics.

Lenn,

I didn't mean to insult your gun. LOL!

Jason,

Looks like H1N1. You're lucky you got turned down the first time. LOL

Julie,

I never would have recognized you!

Barbara,

Thanks for being a good sport! Your glasses have gotten smaller...

Jesse,

Treasures, indeed! Thanks to Kathy for her service!

William,

You still have your hair! I'm so envious...

Sandy,

I'm glad you like it. (Not!) Thanks for the photo; I called your Mom and asked her to stop by the blog.

Sharon,

...and here I thought you were just a natural blonde. LOL

Alex,

Thanks for stopping by; I'd love to see what you find when your stuff arrives.

Mike in Tucson

Mike - Great Post! Wonderful Read....I'll have to go find an old photo and post my mug shot.

Ha! I came back to read and look....what fun!

lil bro...I believe you're still wearing diapers....and Jenn...the same with me and Gary :)

What a fun idea. I wasn't in real estate in 1980 so I don't have a business card for you but I dug up a photo from 1982.

Monika McGillicuddy

What a fun idea! Great pictures from everyone!

Jay McGillicuddy and his son Justin circa 1983 This is my son Justin and me in 1983 at the beach in Marshfield Mass.

Oh to be young again.

After sending my pics I noticed Lenn's picture with her Winchester...she looks so at ease and ready to brake some clay...

You are surprised about girls with guns! Well, there are other girls who like guns...this pic is not from the 80's but...it's another girl with a gun...meet my sporting clays shotgun Rufus...LOL...and Rufus is active...LOL

With smiles,

Bo in Yukon

Bo Kociuba - sporting clays

This has been so much fun! I don't know who surprised me to most... maybe MIKE! :-) The least surprised was with Lenn packin' a gun. LOL

Oh my, I'll have to dig around. I probabably have one or two with a rifle, but will have to go back through some stuff.. 1980 - I'll see what I can find. Thanks for the email.

By the way, That really is a curly do in that photo of you. Fun!

Mike - All I can say is (WOW)! What a kick-ass post and let me find a shot of Vegas Bob from years ago!

By the way featured at one of my favorite groups at Activerain!

VB ;o)

Mike - I just re-blogged your post I couldn't help myself, I love old photos of people, etc.

This is me in 1980 taken in Portland Oregon when I lived there!

VB ;o)

GREAT BLOG IDEA MIKE...

YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST

JOHN FROM BENSON

Jennifer,

We'll keep the light on for you.

John,

But where's the photo?! LOL

Thanks for the reblog, and for the photo of you when you had a 32" waist!

Judi,

I paid for those curls... LOL Come on back with your photo!

It has been fun, hasn't it? And we still have some folks coming back tomorrow!

Bo,

Cool photo!

Jay,

I'd recognize you, but look at all that hair! LOL

Kim,

Thanks for stopping by!

Monika,

Beautiful glamour shot!

Sally,

Isn't it great?! Thanks for your photo up above.

Christine,

We'll be looking for you tomorrow!

Mike in Tucson

Hey Mike,

Cruised on over here after reading William's re-blog.

Got a business card from the mid-70's (yep they actually had b/w photos back then and not the tin-type either) I think I might have it in my desk at the office. It's probably pretty scary, but what the heck, at this point why not?

NOV

I looked all over my albums. I found a 1979 one. I found a 1985 one. ...But still no 1980 one. Then it occurred to me: wait a minute! I was modeling in 1980. Duh! I have plenty of those pictures from my portfolio. Here it is freshly scanned just for you:

Mirela Monte in 1980

Mirela,

Modeling in the 80's! And freshly scanned... LOL Good job! Thanks for playing in the Rain.

Lynda,

I'll have to stop over and thank William for the reblog. Come on back with your photo!

Mike in Tucson

Hey Bo Kaciuba. If you're ever in the DC/MD/VA area, come on out and I'll take you to a local range and we can shoot some skeet or trap birds, or both.

Lenn

Hi Mike,

What fabulous pictures..I am having so much fun looking through these..Lenn a Winchestor 101 12 ga..You could be our poster for our slogan "Don't mess with Texas!"

I don't have many because my mom has them in a land far away. I was only 10 in 1980! Here's one with my baby sister and I.

Mike - Sorry but I had a 27" waste in that photo and that is scary! Get a load of Mirela (WOW)! It's a shame I didn't run into her in this time period!

VB ;o)

Haha! Great idea and I'm so not embarrassed to post!

1985 senior photo, cheerleader in 1986 and being silly in 1989...

Tammi Copsey Donegal Cheerleader Tammi Silly Tammi

This is a fun post!!

Mike...Had to really look around for a 1980's photo, Found one of my 1980 senior prom off-white Tux?

January 1980 1979 was my first "Production" year and here is the "Commission" I received. I was on maternity leave from teaching school and not in real estate at the time.

Lenn - thanks for the invitation...I would love to break some clay with you, I think it could be quite a site...LOL...Just came back from San Antonio (attending Sporting Clays Nat'l Championships) and had a blast...perhaps good winds from NE will send you this way toward Oklahoma?

With smiles,

Bo in Yukon

Mike - This is quite enteraining - I now must go and look for an 80's photo of mine not in Real Estate still living in Germany. This is really fun and you have a few women here with some weapons.

Mike, This was an Awesome Idea and a Great Post. between the Girls with the Guns and The guys With the perms I had a blast. In 1980 I was in first Grade and i do not have one pic from then :-(

Found one...My Communion Picture....Man I Miss My Hair!

Hi Mike, I just wrote a post for you. ;-) Post for Mike.

Hey Mike! Here you go...In 1980 I was a 19 year old college sophomore at Hamline University with "farrah-hair". Wasn't thinking real estate but majoring in Business Adm/marketing and Psychology. (Boy did I use a lot of hairspray back then!) That cute guy next to me is now my husband.

Mike - here it is a photo from my first driver license in 1981. In Germany you had to be 18 in order to drive a car and that picture was taken around my 18th birthday. Oh boy, I can read my signature.

Petra Norris 1981

Fun stuff Mike!

Let me jump into the frying pan with this gem!

High School yearbook photo 1980...

Oh my GOODNESS, Mike... how absolutely FUN this was looking through everyone's pictures! Sorry no guns then, but now a 38 super, 2 rifles and a shotgun under the bed. I'll totally try and find pics from then... I hope this post keeps going and going and going...

Not enough time today, but catch me tomorrow. In 1980 I was......younger.

Jim,

Me too!!

Linda,

I like the shotgun under the bed.

Craig,

Love the big hair!

Petra,

You haven't changed a bit!

Teri,

I'd still recognize you, even with the Farrah Fawcett hairdo.

Susie,

The horse is as pretty as you!

Michael,

Great hair; thanks for digging for the photo.

Petra,

Glad you found a photo!

Bo,

You and Lenn just HAVE to get together.

Teresa,

You used to be a production model; now you're a sports model! LOL

Steve,

What impressed me is that you still have most of that hair!

Tammi,

LOVE the rabbit photo!

Robert,

I'm making you fat. LOL 28" waist?!

Renee,

Thanks for playing!

Dorie,

It's too much fun!

Lenn,

I want to see a photo of you and Bo together! LOL

Mike in Tucson

I am making a clarification for the record......I was not born before 1960 but was licensed in 1979......

OK, here it goes:

I've been looking over these pictures and I have noticed that some of you ladies look as if time stood still. Some of you even look better and younger now than you did 30 years ago. Here is my question: you know who you are, so fess up! Whatever you're doing to stay so young, I want to know about it! It doesn't have to be here, it can be a discreet e-mail, a phone call or a text. I just want to know how you do it.

I'll be waiting!

BTW, Why is this not featured yet? I flagged it twice today.

Mike my little brother was born in 1970 and this was his 10th birthday. Boy were my mom's curtains ugly! Don't tell her I said that.

I'm that little skinny girl with braces and big hair holding the baby who was just a bit more than a month shy of his first birthday. Me, I was just a few weeks shy of turning 15 and getting that drivers permit and being able to "double date". WOW. The other kids are neighbors and that's my Grandmother. Gosh she was so young and still so beautiful at 61. I was a freshman in high school and working as a soda jerk at a local drug store after school.

Life was so wonderful. I had a ton of fun reading all the comments and seeing all the photos. You always post such beautiful photo that I enjoy so much, but this was really fun to go and find a photo from 1980 and one that has wonderful happy memories. That little baby I'm holding had his 10th birthday the same day as my daughter's first easter in 1989.

Mirella - LOL...I am with you! I want to know also...ladies, the pressure is mounting!

With smiles,

Bo in Yukon

NOV

Well how fun to see the changes in everyone . some had more hair and some look better today. Interesting

GOOD MORNING MIKE! I just had to come back here and look at all these photos! This is so fun! I hope it gets featured! --Gab

Gab,

I've never had so many comments on a post that wasn't featured. It's just a blast!

Elizabeth,

I don't know if we all appreciate the changes... Let me rephrase that. I don't know if we appreciate all the changes. LOL

Bo,

Some do have the secret to the fountain of youth...

Tammy,

Thanks so much for your photo and story! This is so much fun!

Mirela,

I hope they text you. Enquiring minds want to know. (And thanks for the feature flags!)

Julie,

We knew that... :)

Mike in Tucson

OK - so now I'm playing along. LOL These were taken in May of 1986 in central Florida. I was in heaven on those 200 acres, but the heat was something else!

1986 1986

1986

PS: You are much more handsome now! :) I'm sure Ginny thinks so too!

Mike, pregnant me and Christa 81 This is me in August 1981 with Christa and Mike. I am 7 months pregnant with Matthew. We had just moved to Michigan from Auburn Alabama.

What a great idea...the photos are a blast to look at.

Missy... fabulous!

Carol: I had no idea! Nice!

Teri E and Susie... look the same.

Looks like you hit on something very popular. Kathie did a series of ads asking "Which Kathie Did You Buy From?" She had six or eight pics over 25 year period. It worked really well with past clients. Everybody likes a little nostalgia.

Hi Mike, While I have no photo to post, I could not pass the opportunity to tell you - this was really fun. Loved all the photos and comments! Great idea!!

Mary,

I really enjoyed posting photos on your Colorado Snow blog post! Thanks for stopping by.

Little Brother,

I love the idea of Kathie's take on good old times! Thanks for commenting.

Kat,

Thanks for stopping back!

Missy,

I love your photo!

Carol,

You're sweet, and Ginny agrees! Thanks for "rounding up" some great pics.

Mike in Tucson

NOV

OK, It took me a while, as I don't like getting my picture taken, (see how happy I look in this one?). This, circa 1980 photo of me relaxing on our newly purchased sofa was clearly NOT on a business card, though at 25 yrs old, I was "employed". It's been fun seeing who the brave souls are! =o)

Cheryl,

Thanks for playing; this has been a trip, hasn't it?!

Mike in Tucson

This was 1984! And it was a very good year! 1984 Margaret & Lee Rome

Just now checked this out Mike. What a hoot! I'll have to look, and if it is not too late - I'll be back.

NOV

Alexsandra,

It's never too late! Come on back with what you find.

Mike in Tucson

Mike... This is the first time I've stumbled on your site... and boy do you ever KNOW HOW TO THROW A PARTY!!!

I'm going to reblog this now and see if we can't make this the longest running blog EVER!!

PS: What part of upstate New York are you from? My husband is from Dannsville, do you know where that is??

Hi Mike, I re-bogged this because it was d a r n near ( careful writing the word d a r n becuase when the r touches the n it looks like an m and we might just as well have wriiten it ) the funnest post we have ever had in the rain. I love all the photos and what fun it was looking for them. With all we have written and all the exposure we have already given ourselves already we might just as well post out baby pictures while we are at it. I added my 80's pictures above. Here is me as a young boy which I wish had been in the 80's , lol.

NOV

William,

My grandmother made a shirt for me like the one you're wearing in the photo. Why did they make us button up the top button? I'll have to go look for a photo of my own to post.

Ruth,

The little town is called Clavarack, NY. Thanks for the reblog.

Hi Mike, What a fun post! I'm late to the party, but diving right in!

Not many pix of me from the 80's...I'm always the one behind the camera. This one is mid 80's Vacation to the Adirondacks, NY

Here we standing in front of the Fort at Ft Ticonderoga! Appropriate since my Big 80's hair 80's looks like it's ready for a fight. LOL!

Ginger,

This is an ongoing party. It's NEVER too late! LOL Thanks for playing.

This photo is from the late 70's. I was a "Mother's" girl. I worked for Mother's pizza parlour. Don't you love the uniform?

Here I am thinking back in 1957 about my future real estate career that kicked off in 1980. I'll go thru the shoe box. babymonkey Cute little monkey huh?
