Maybe Twenty

These two young guys look about twenty, or younger, to me. My own mother quit high school at 16 in 1942 to go to work in a defense plant and made good money until the end of WWII. After all, there was a war on!

Defense workers?

Submitted by BillyB on Thu, 02/18/2021 - 11:30pm.

I realize as I get older kids look younger but I really can't believe these two are defense workers. Defense workers' kids maybe.

I know, all you have to go by it is written the negative.
