In 2009 my son graduated high school and four days after my 50th birthday we lost both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett on the same day. I thought Jackson was a freak but recognized the brilliance of his musicianship. Farrah's posters littered my walls when I was a teenager. My prudent mother came down with her scissors and cut them up leaving just her face left on the wall. Ah, memories. I went out and reacquired the posters and still have them in a poster tube tucked away in my storage shed. Here are nine cards from 2009 that I've scanned from my collection.
