Christmas Eve, 1973.

We were in Hershey Park on August 16, 1977, the day Elvis Presley died. Nancy made a new friend, before she knew of the tragedy. #hersheypark #hersheyparkhappy #hershey #hersheypa #elvis #elvispresley #theking #thekingofrockandroll #tragedy #tragedies #nationaltragedy #nationaltragedies #death #deathofaking #popstar #rockstar #musicalstar #musicalperformer #elvisthepelvis #1970s #twentiethcentury #twentiethcenturyfigures #figuresofthetwentiethcentury #greatness #famous #fame #wherewereyou

I loved Mrs. McKee's color scheme in the bedroom suite when I bought my former home in the gay 90s, and I kept it that way for thirty years. #homedecor #homeinterior #interior #interiors #relentlessolive #olive #olivegreen #green #greens #tan #tans #colors #interiordecorating #interiordecorator #interiordecorators #bedroom #bedrooms #bedroomsuite #bedroomsuites #matchingcolors #twentiethcentury #victorianhome #victorianhomes #victorianhouses #victorianhouse #colonialhome #colonialhomes

My college life in 1973: Living in an eight by twenty-four camper in the Hillside Trailer Park outside State College, and driving a large, over-powered Dodge Coronet. No one gets nostalgic about steering rear-wheel-drive cars in the snow. #olddays #oldendays #twentiethcentury #blizzard #snow #snowstorm #snowstorms #statecollege #pennstate #dodge #plymouth #hillsidetrailerpark #trailerpark #trailerparks #affordablehousing #nomoreaffordablehousing #affordablehousinginstatecollege

My Mother's 1973 Christmas tree, with a cardboard diorama I created: "The DeWittes: Christmas on the Rhine." The diorama still exists.
