Okay, I love vintage art, but some of those are just a tad on the creepy side for me!

Looks like they progressed in age through the year.

Thanks, Maurine, Mina. I’m glad you enjoy them along with me.
I hadn’t realized that, Eric. You’re right. How fun — the whole Primary gets represented that way.
