Dick, your pictures remind us how good we have it.

Love those bumper surfing babes in the first likeness. But greatly saddened by the life lead in rural poverty by many people back then. We here are part of the post war generations who mostly did well on the back of a growing economy. This has now changed for a great number of young people trying to make their way in difficult times for them.
