It’s so interesting that you were able to find out so much background information about these photographs. I grew up in Swarthmore, and as I remember there was a Martel’s market in the downtown area. I didn’t know Martel had markets all over Delaware County.

I do hope someone can remember whether there was a visit to this area by John Kennedy around that time period.

Eng. I have searched the internet for a black & white pic as seen here of “Old Main” 1942. Do you have any posters of this pic for sale, or how can I get a copy of this vintage arial shot.? I’d like to frame and give to him. Thanks,

I was there for that concert and was not at that time a Springsteen fan. My recollection of that night was that he was more than 2 hours late for the concert. We got there for the concert and as time went on the crowd grew. Everyone entered at the indoor track entrance of the gym which was new at that time. There was no assigned seating, in fact it was standing only. When they finally opened the doors to let people in there was a crowd surge and since we were in the middle of the pack we were just swept along. Very scary. I realized for the first time how people get trampled to death. Once we got inside we were so shook up that we could not even enjoy the concert. I wish it would have been different but it was not a great experience.

Or was Eisenhower a comedian. There has to be a connect to draw here somewhere.

It was a stroke of genius to think of combining articles about Eisenhower and Springsteen in one issue. And the cover! Wow.

These two guys have a knack for researching their topics so well, and combining small details of an event along with giving us the broader picture. Kudos to both of them for bringing our history to life in such a fun and interesting way!

From Bob Hope to Jane Fonda, from PMC to Widener, how far we have fallen! GOD HELP US!!!
