Life Magazine photo archives on Google

Google is in the process of uploading the entire archives of Life Magazine, some 10M images. I was alerted to this and found a couple of interest to Houston radio, such as this one of Don Keyes, clad in a kilt, climbing the flagpole in June, 1957, in the McLendon stations flagpole sitting stunt:

Here's the home page:

You might want to search what's available for relevant images to your town. I have found some for national radio personalities and shows. For some reason I have not had any luck with the search window on the main page but the search window on the one image linked has worked.

Also, I haven't had any luck searching with a term like 'Houston radio,' only by searching for specific call letters or personalities that might have appeared in the magazine.

Many of the photos were never published.
