This week's visual prompt for Sepia Saturday is above. Here's what I found by searching The Digital Library of America. (Not sure why the citations formatted like they did.)

    Aww Arthur Godfrey! I remember watching him on tv although I don't really remember much about the show itself.

    I love the Ukulele Club photo. I’m sure descendants of those pictured appreciated the captions handwritten below each club member. And the Arthur Godfrey video is priceless. I remember watching his show as a youngster.

      Yes! Captions make a difference. I'm trying to caption what we have from the pre-internet days for my family's descendants.

In the town's church, which was the first Catholic church in Milwaukee, visitors could sing carols. The performers read a Christmas passage from a Little House on the Prairie book. They also brought kids up from the audience and they read "The Night Before Christmas." Ready for Christmas morning. This room is set up for a cobweb party. Each guest has a color of string and they have to unravel the string to get to their Christmas gift. I wonder what other kinds of parties they had back then. This l
