Here’s a candid picture of me from 1973 at my sister’s high school graduation. I looked totally disinterested in what was going on. Yes, I was a hippie with a really long ponytail in those days.
Cool pictures, I always like to talk to people from yalls generation if you were 21 in 1973 did you ever get drafted? Big military buff. I’ll be 30 in June. So I was a stain on a rag at that time. I know it’s off topic. My dad was born in 56 so he just missed being of age. But my uncle was drafted and my aunt was a hippie you could say and said the USA is to war hungry and moved to Australia. And lives there till this day
And I agree your mom reminds me of those old Hollywood shots
Speaking of cars, even at age eleven I knew a cool car when I saw one. Brand new, off-the-dealer-lot 63 T-Bird - seen in a motel parking lot somewhere between New Mexico and Disney Land. Not ours, we were in a 60 Dodge Dart station wagon.

BTW, atbglenn, you are about five weeks older than me.
Thanks so much for your comment on my mom. Not only was she beautiful, she was the best mom a kid could have. This is why I still get emotional when I look at this picture.
I didn’t get drafted because I was 261 in the draft lottery. Remember the draft lottery?
Here’s the oldest picture I could find of myself. It’s me and my uncle Phil who passed away a few months ago at the age of 95. I’m guessing this picture was taken sometime in the mid 1950’s. As you can see he was a beach dweller. He always had a deep tan.
