My late great Grandma Bea collected decades of National Geographics. I'm so glad that I am now in possession of them. Each one is like a time capsule. Pictured above: the back of Feb. 1958, the covers of April and March 1964. One tells the story of Capt. Jacques-Yves Cousteau in his yellow underwater villa. Another holds two very poignant articles: "How We Plan to Put Men on the Moon" and "John F. Kennedy: The Last Full Measure (a tribute and story about the funeral)." Every time I pick one up I feel a mixture of fascination and laughter. They are gems.
