As you can barely see in the background, mom always taped all of her Christmas cards to the back of the front door. Every year she had tons of cards. These days, I don't think most people send nearly as many cards as she sent or got.
Of course, for me most of those who used to send me cards are gone.
I look at that Pendelton shirt and recall that, a year later when I was looking for a job, I did not own a suit to wear to job interviews. Not knowing that might have prevented me from getting some jobs, I wore that shirt over a dress shirt and tie. It was the best I could do with no income.
