The first one must have been taken in very late 44 or very early 45. "3 is a Family" was released on November 24, 1944 and "Tomorrow, the World" on December 29, 1945. According to Billboard Magazine (Dec. 30 1944) Lionel Hampton was having a great success at the Hollywood Canteen Given the obvious excitement of the crowd, I would say December 31 1944. On January 1 the atmosphere is usually gloomy. Most people remain at home nursing their hangover. Beautiful pictures.

Some of the things I remember : bringing the bacon fat to the butcher shop in a metal coffee can to be used in the making of bullitts for the war. The Navy War ships would dock along the hudson river across from where we lived on riverside drive in Manhattan. Ed Levy of Colorado I was born in 1940 in NYC.
