Happy Mother's Day

Thinking of my Mom. These are silhouettes that we had done at Riverview many years ago. A man would cut them from black paper as you sat there very still. Riverview Park was one of the greatest of all amusement parks, located at Western & Belmont. It closed in 1967. I have many memories of those times. It was wonderful.

I remember Riverview too; loved that place. Pretty tame compared to today's standards (6 Flags, etc.), but it was a yearly event for our families. Love the silhouettes.
