Classy People From The Past Who Remind Us What "Cool" Really Means!

Our society has come a long way in the past few decades but we've completely forgotten what it's like to be classy.

The people we aspired to be, decades ago, were much different than the celebrities young people looked up to today. 

The values of our past have nearly vanished, but I'm hoping that if everyone sees this, theymight think differently about what "cool" was yesterday and what is considered "cool" today. . .  really isn't. 

Share and remind everyone what "cool" used to be like!
