JFK was killed in 1963. It’s odd how he was still out there shaking hands a year later. Hmm.
The picture of Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a little disturbing, and I was quite shocked at the one of Josef Stalin. I kept going back to it! 😂 Great post!
Number 5 is NOT Betty White of The Golden Girls – no way !
Yes. Yes it is.
