Love the bottle of Tabasco on the table. Some things never change.
No offense...

Of course we comment on looks - there's a whole Shorpy category on Pretty Girls, and Lynn ranks as that. As you yourself point out, she was a model. All I was saying was that Hugh was a lucky guy - Lynn was very pretty, in a way that transcends decades. Classic good looks.
Lynn Massman

I watch comments on this website on a daily basis. My father was in the Army Air Corps. You can find the link if you google Logan Southfield. He flew a P-61 Black Widow. My mother was a model for Anita Dress Shops and Zukors during WW2. Lynn Massman was not only nice looking, but a great mother. Since when do we base our comments on looks? We don't.
Washington

I imagine that the city of Washington in particular would probably have had a lot of facilities labeled as "United Nations" simply because you had military missions from just about every allied country present.
Wasn't the United Nations founded in 1945?

Hey, do Hugh and Lynn know their 8 week old son is being cared for in a non-existent organization's Nursery?
[United Nations refers to the countries allied against the Axis powers during the war. Kind of a generic expression at the time. - Dave]
Lynn is a babe

Am I the only one viewing this series of pics who thinks Hugh was one lucky guy?
