The way it was:

In the early 1950s. I recently discovered this little photo book from a gathering of my dad and some friends in the very early '50s, he would have been fresh out of the Army, (Korean War), and in college. Before he met my mom.

Not sure what the occasion was and it doesn't look like anything special by the way they were dressed, maybe just having some beers on a weekend night? My favorite photo is the last one, my dad always told me that he was friends with Bud who owned Bud's Standard in our neighborhood in the '60s, I think that he was slightly older and probably a WW2 veteran.

I'm only sharing here because I thought that they were prints in amazing condition, (like new), the photography is not great but the *capture the moment* quality is, IMO. The first one is my dad on the left and the rest are his friends:






Everyone in these photos is dead or in their 90s if alive but they are so young here!
