Qatari children, Doha, 17 Feb 1967

Excellent shot of the children Anne ... when I see these old photos, I always wonder what became of them after 45+ years ... they certainly were not affected by obesity. An excellent shot from your archives!!

Thanks so much, Art, though I posted these ready for tomorrow. You've already commented on enough of my photos today!! Yes, that is exactly what I always wonder, how life has treated them since, and is one of the reasons that I carefully remove every teeny white speck (and there were hundreds on this particular image!), just in case someone recognizes one of the children as themselves or a friend or family member. If they do, and want to download the photo, I'd much rather they had a photo without all the endless white specks. Obesity? I remember being told by someone who lives in Oman that the increased use of Western food in Oman (and I'm sure it's the same elsewhere), has meant an increase in overweight, less fit people. Such a great pity.

How Wonderful!
They should be grown men by now. Did you stay in touch?

No, this was just a group of children who suddenly appeared. They were not children that we knew personally.
