Iran 1957

An American's photo essay

Iran, 50 years ago was quite different than today. This slide show provides an interesting contrast for those familiar with the Iran of today. My 15 months there, so long ago, has been an invaluable, positive experience serving me in many ways in the intervening years. -- Gene Watson

Cheap oil era

The abject poverty of the villagers in the mid 20th century is mind-bugling.
