Duetschland 1976, 1979

My mom at age 11 and her mom, on a sunday, after someone who came to visit had just left. My mom’s dad took the picture. 1976 Coburg, Germany

My mom, at 14, in front of her brother’s (Rainer) room door. She told me that he had the record player in his room so she would go in there to listen to records. I asked her what records she listened to then and she told me, “Well usually i listened to whatever was in the top ten. I didn’t buy the records; my brother did. He listened to disco- ELO and Diana Ross. ELO was probably my favorite.”
Also, look how sweet her outfit is. The shoes had a zipper around the side.

Here is a picture of My mom’s hometown, Coburg, on the year she was born, 1965.

Talking about the yellow tint in the photo- “It’s funny, back then that’s really what it looked like to me.”
