Down the rabbit hole

1.  LIFE magazine after FDR's death 

2.  Letters section about Joan Geisendorff, the pretty young girl on the cover a few issues prior

3.  In 2015, she revealed more about that photo shoot 

4.  The boy she was dating became her husband, and they shared 60 years of marriage before his death in 2010

5.  That same fellow (who later founded the company that became ARAMARK) worked for L.S. Ayres, a department store in Indianapolis. 

6.  Every city had one or more downtown department stores that were the place to shop for people of a certain age, and which tried and failed to adjust to the trend toward suburban shopping instead of downtown.
