Exchange Students, 1955
I found this interview of exchange students from Pakistan, Nigeria, South Korea and Finland fascinating. I like how the interviewer is in the background and how thoughtfully these young people consider American freedom, dating and education.
It would be interesting to see a 2020 version of this interview.
Sculpture Saturday

Saturday Sculpture was hosted by the Mind over Memory blogger
To join in, what you need to do is:
1. Share a photo of a sculpture
2. Link or ping back here to Ruined for Life because Mind over Memory’s had to stop hosting. Between a new graduate program and work, she’s super busy.
It’s a fun challenge. Give it a try.
