A young King Hussein

My wonderful friend Muna provided me with this historic photo that shows the late King Hussein as a young boy sitting in the lap of his grandfather, King Abdullah I. Isn’t it just priceless! Thanks Muna!

    Photos like this have historical interest, but there’s also a nostalgic quality I like…sort of a never, never time that’s gone or did it ever really exist?

    I like these photos. Dad

    Who knew when this was taken that he would be king in little more than a decade.

    It is. When I get home, I’ll clean and sharpen it up a bit more so things are a bit clearer.

    I have a question that isn’t related to this post, but it’s something that I’ve wanted to ask. I know that the black covering that Islamic women wear is called an abaya. I swear that I have heard the same thing referred to as a chador (sp?). Is there a difference, or is it the same thing? Thanks.
