A Pair From June 1961

I will file these under "General Interest". You can only look at them if you are (or have been) a General, so you have been warned. Both are from June, 1961.

OK, now that it's just us Generals (well, OK, I'm a Major, but it's my blog, darn it!), we can relax. I like this first pic, a portrait of a mother and her 2 year-old (?) at Main Street Station, posing with the Fred Gurley - old #3. It was built in 1898, but looks shiny and new. 

Next is this very nice look at the Monsanto House of the Future. It's almost POSTCARD-WORTHY, though the trees and shrubs might obscure a bit more of the house than the International Postcard Bureau (or IPB) would like.  However, the gardens and ponds make the future look mighty inviting. Looking at some of the guests in this photo, it occurred to me that some were born around the turn of the century, and surely never dreamed that they would ever see anything like the HotF!
