If our country is 240 years old, that means it has been 40 years since we attended the great bicentennial celebration in Philadelphia. This Bicentennial Baby that Porter caught on film (yes, real film) is now forty years old. (Click to enlarge.)
Here are a few more pictures from that event. Except for the first one, I'm not naming names.
President Gerald Ford spoke. Some people were more thrilled than others.
Watching the parade.
Happy birthday, America!

Hey, that's cool! Did you know that you probably saw Barbara and Phil then? They were playing handbells in the parade.

Wait. That can't be right. It was the 1986 parade. Not the 1976 parade. Oops.
