Then there's the realization that no matter how healthy and wonderful lives they might have had, these times are dead for them, their past youth is no doubt gone, and whatever you see blossoming in these photos has long since died.
Wow, Nordic, you just verbalized beautifully what I feel when watching old photos of anonymous, normal, everyday people. I suppose there's always a comforting side to the fact that there has been an "everyday" some other time, too, but I too feel a weird sense of dread and get a very acute sense of my own mortality and finiteness. Be as it may, it's great to hear other people have similar feelings.
As for the OT, this is creepy, but again, interesting... Again I remember why I'll always come back to RI.
I'll bet my life Rodney Alcala is MK Ultra mind controlled slave, which means he is a sleeper/multiple. He was involved with pedophile/satanist Roman Polanski also apparently.

There is something wrong with his eyes, isn't there? They're sort of glittery, too alert and watchful, as though with excitement, but not in an infectious or attractive way, more like those of a bird of prey. It's very hard to describe without using cliches, but I'm sure many of us have come across eyes like that many times before, and felt an urge to hide or flee. Strangely, there are some people who are irresistibly attracted by that very quality.
Alcala is a MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL like most if not ALL of the infamous serial killers/assassins. They are used to create FEAR in our society, b/c fear=CONTROL. Why do you think he was let back out on the streets after trying to snuff an 8 year old girl??? The whole JUST-US SYSTEM is satanic/corrupt and rotten to the core! I know from years of research, and personal experience...
Rodney Alcala, 66, who in February was found guilty of the murders of four women and a child in the late 1970s, appeared on the lighthearted game show in 1978 -- and won.
"He was creepy. Definitely creepy," fellow contestant Jed Mills, who sat next to Alcala on the show, told CNN.
Alcala already had been convicted for the 1968 rape of an 8-year-old girl, according to CNN, but that didn't stop him from making an impression on the female participant, Cheryl Bradshaw.
"We're going to have a great time together, Cheryl," he says with a grin.
Host Jim Lange introduces Alcala as "a successful photographer who got his start when his father found him in the darkroom at the age of 13, fully developed. Between takes,you might find him skydiving or motor-cycling."
There was something immediately off-putting about Alcala, Mills told CNN. While he was all charm and smiles on stage, he showed a more sinister side while in the green room with the other male contestants.
"He was quiet, but at the same time he would interrupt and impose when he felt like it," Mills said. "And he was very obnoxious and creepy -- he became very unlikable and rude and imposing as though he was trying to intimidate.
"I wound up not only not liking this guy ... not wanting to be near him ... he got creepier and more negative. He was a standout creepy guy in my life."
Though Alcala won the date with Bradshaw, she ultimately refused to go out with him, according to reports.
Criminy. They're all creepy — especially Jim Lange, the host.
(As oily as French fries on a paper napkin.)
"The most strongly enforced of all known taboos is the taboo against knowing who or what you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate, independent, and isolated ego."
