• Tammy said:

  oh, I love this! Can you imagine how hot it would be to wear this much clothing in the Texas heat and in the days of no air conditioning!

• John B said:

  She wears the habit of the Sisters of Mercy and the white veil of a novice. The photo was most likely made on the occasion of her receiving the habit.

  Love it!

• Swordscookie said:

  It is so strange looking at the old "habit's" of the nuns and 1962 is not that long ago. They must have been very difficult to wear and especially in the heat of a good summer or in very cold weather?

• Angela Orlando said:

  Marvelous portrait... lovely B&W photo!!! The Cliffs of Moher are truly spectacular, then & now!!!

• Marta said:

  Un bonito recuerdo de estos espectaculares acantilados por las mismas fechas que los visitamos nosotras.

  Yo también estuve en el mismo lugar en el año 1961 .
