PLYMOUTH — When Charlotte Bender of Plymouth purchased the light blue frilly dress for her first daughter in 1955, she had no idea that her great-granddaughters would still be wearing the dress in 2011.
Since the dress was purchased, eleven babies have worn it in a photo taken at 6 months of age — a family tradition that, with any luck, will continue.
“The dress is so thin you can see through it,” said Christen White, Bender’s granddaughter.

PLYMOUTH — Drivers passing through downtown recently may have noticed an odd landmark in front of King’s Jewelry.

“It was very popular back in the 60s and 70s,” said Becky Glaub-Gibbs, of the Chamber of Commerce.
