I don’t think I’ve seen it - looking at the IMDB looks like I need to !

I just asked that because that was a “thing” in summer ‘70 ☺️ #AT40

Yes! I remember buying (or begging my mom to buy) another whole set of these just because there was ONE color I didn’t yet have.

I didn’t have this picture until my cousin’s daughter sent it to me a couple of years ago. I treasure the time capsule with my bike, my yarn tie, and my mod watch! My full 12 yr old glory!

Oh I love that! I keep hoping there are photos out there of me I’ve not seen and will find them.

I never thought to ask my cousins what they might have. I was so glad to get this old album. My aunt must have had a nice camera! The few pics my dad took aren’t this good.

One of my older cousins brought her mom’s albums to my mom’s funeral 3 years ago. My aunt also must have had a great camera. There were none of me but lots of my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles that even my dad had never seen.

The side pony tail! Classic. Is that a thick piece of yarn or a ribbon? A very cute 1970 pic. #AT40
