"Omigosh, Mom, look at your hair!"
By Ann Hoevel, I was sorting through old family photos with my mother, deciding which to scan for posterity, and there in my hand was her student ID card from Rice University. On it was a small picture of Mom, flashing her familiar grin.
I didn't need the date above her picture to tell me this was from 1970: She was wearing a stripy mockneck shirt that can only be described as, "incredible," with a hairdo that defied both Houston's humidity and her naturally fine, straight hair.
