THE KIDS Lesson one.
It is always a mystery to us how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.

    I'm pretty sure these are both examples of "Crossing the line" ceremonies, which were a regular part of shipboard entertainment on passenger liners - at least those that crossed the equator. I read from this that it was actually started in the Navy.

    Thanks very much! I suspected something like that but not having experienced it myself and don't know anyone who has, I wasn't at all sure. And thanks for the link!
