I think that was her best day ever. Is she cheesing or what? 🙂 Great and historical shot. Happy WW!!

Man, if it wasn’t for the date on that photo, I’d swear I went to high school with that guy. He’s a dead ringer for a guy I knew back in the day. But not in ’72. We’d have been 12 then.

That is great. He looks very proud to be with her.

jams, she does look happy. This shot really captures a wonderful moment in time!
Mojo, he reminds me of someone from my school back in 1979. Love those sideburns. The styles of that period were so distinctive.
By the way, if anyone can name the young man in the photo, please contact me at blackoncampus@yahoo.com.
