Kind of off topic, but I found a book (around 60) original photos from US WWII solders getting ready to go to the Pacific while stationed at pendleton and on Hawaii. Some include identifying information like names. It occurred to me that their family members may want some images.<p>Is there anyone aware of a place to upload them so that their family can find them and downloadview them?

Interesting, a cursory scan through suggests that in groups of friends, the men stay together whilst the women tend to have moved on&#x2F;away from the group.<p>I wonder is this has to do with the communication styles of men and women where men focus on shared experience whilst women focus on outwardly shared communication (do things together as opposed to talk about things together.)

Interesting project! There are a few who seem to stay young (black hair or shiny blond hair) and others who took a toll<p>Also sad to see the homeless people who were already homeless 40 years ago.

A friend of mine got married and realized after about 2 years that he and his wife had known each other when they were kids. They found a picture of each other playing on a playground from 25 years earlier. They weren&#x27;t friends or anything, but had certainly bumped into each other before.

This is simply incredible.<p>Apparently it has been captured in a book &quot;REUNIONS&quot; [0].<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chrisporsz.com&#x2F;the-books.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chrisporsz.com&#x2F;the-books.html</a>

Such an interesting area for him to have done it in. I think the results in say London or another big city would be quite different as it&#x27;s not an areas that has really thrived and people are much more likely to stay local.

This reminds me of the 7 Up Series (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Up_Series" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Up_Series</a>), where the same people are interviewed every 7 years, starting about age 7. The director of that series is unfortunately quite heavyhanded in the questions he asks, but the project itself is quite interesting. Next episode will show in 2019, I believe.

Amazing. These are all pictures taken in the UK. Pity there is no picture taken at a Fish&amp;Chips with the then popular newspaper wrapper and then seeing the equivalent 40 years later.

Seems there&#x27;s a bit of an overweight problem in that town, no?
