Throwback Thursday – Image Cable Installer (Summer 1991)

A bit of a different Throwback Thursday this week. I recently posted about how death was a dark cloud this summer with a handful of people we know and/or were connected to having died.

“Dearest Father…” #SecondCivilWarLetters Wins Twitter on American Independence Day
