This picture was brought to my attention by a friend. It is from the Nov. 2010 issue of the Smithsonian magazine.I would give many pennies to know Diana's thoughts in this picture. What do you think?

I don't know what she's thinking but those flat shoes on the floor probably belong to Barbara Martin. I think I read somewhere that Barbara Martin had flat feet which is the reason she left music and went into the Podiatry business.
Don't know but there is another picture that I posted on here at the same gig with Flo on the bottom bunk asleep and Diana on the top bunk.
Is Barbara Martin in any of the photos?Quote:

Actually it says it is from '65!

Thanks.
Barbara Martin left the group to get married and have a family [[her pregnancy was the reason she left the group in 1962).
Thank you midnightman. When did Barbara Martin become a Podiatrist and did she ever sing publicly again after 1962?Quote:

Interesting photo - really unique - I say, even then she knew, that she was destined for greatness - at any cost.
What video miss_lish? I would love to see a Barbara Martin video.Quote:

I like the fur coat hanging from the upper bunk.

I have a very funny feeling about the way certain people ask questions on this forum, especially in this thread.
Are the serious people on this forum being made a fool of of... or what?
^ Who knows? :-/
Shouldn't we just be happy that the Supremes are even in such an institution even if it's to commemorate their time at the Apollo?
