Who shoes up when? I don’t recognize anyone.
And many peliyos here. To see bochurim in sleeveless teeshirts walking with gedolei olam without an issue. Today no camp director would allow that – it’s all about the “image”, chitzoniyus. So everyone is all in their buttoned up white shirts in 90 degree weather, looking all nice and fine, meanwhile the pnimiyus of what a gadol or torah is is gone.
And also in all these old videos, everyone walking with the gedolim have massive smiles on their faces. You get the feeling these gedolim related to these people on their level, had a sense of humor. Todya its generally not like that.
