Your loyal host - this was taken a very long time ago on Fenwick Island off the Connecticut coast. My friends Freddy, Charlie and I took a ride in Fred's T-bird convertible. Charlie lived on Fenwick during the summer. It was also the summer residence of Katherine Hepburn. This actually was taken in winter - January, I think. My wife has always liked this photo.
I was wearing a white jeans (wheat actually), ocbd shirt, tennis sweater, and a wool shirt over it all.
When this was taken I was home on leave from the Air Force. This was from very early years when I first became interested in photography. I scanned this photo from an 8 X 10 that I printed in the base photo shop. A lot of was crap, but a few ended up in boxes that made it through all the moves - from home to home - north to south.
Here's another shot of the Air Force man on Fenwick.
My good friend Geary lived on Fountain Street in New Haven. His apartment building garage was a stable of luxury vehicles - this Fleetwood was the the ride of choice one night.
The suit was from Rosenberg's on York Street, New Haven. I'm sure the tie was stolen from my Dad's closet. I think I look a bit rakish here - eh?
OK -OK --- I had some request for an updated photo - so here you go - for better or worse -
