LOL, Rube - - check out the matching socks/wristband combo on me in that picture with Shad. Wow. I remember him well, he was so nice - I think this was before he got really sick, if I remember right.

Even better...here is the same hat from that photo! I think we need to go and reenact all our family photos of 20+ yrd of SDC!

Wayback Machine set for Feb 4, 1893. YES 1893!!! The original Scientific American on "Marble Cave of Missouri". If you want a good read, this is a great one. I can honestly say I have only seen 2 of these come up, and I was able to get mine for a steal >$20.00. This issue would have cost $0.25 in 1893=$5.92 present day. (Cover price in 1893 was $3.00 year for the subscription, with inflation that would amount to $71.00+!!! a year)

^That's awesome.  Very interesting, indeed, and exactly 90 years and 1 day before I was born! 8)

Wayback Machine set for Oct 1974, 35 years ago almost to the day. It is good to see that not much has changed in these photos...Well other than the awning, the dirt road, the signage...You get the point though...

Thought I'd put in an "old" looking photo of SteamFreak taken by TinMann on here. I took a few minutes to age this photo just for fun! I do this as a project with my social studies students using Civil War re-enactment photos every year. Enjoy!

History Buff

That is clearly a supervisor stance.  You must be da man in charge.
