Where did you get this outfit ? …
I was at a loss for a title for this image. I have no idea where this photo came from or who this man is or at what gun range this photo was taken. I was really hesitant to post this because I was scared that if the gun-control wackos came across this this image, this guy might become the new “poster-boy” for gun control. If anyone out there ever happens to run across a leopard skin suite in a size 42 regular, please think of me and email me the pawn shop that you located it in. If anyone happens to know who this guy is, let him know that I have his photo and that I would be interested in any details that I can find out about this photo. If anyone has any idea of ” borrowing ” this photo without my permission, please be fore-warned that it is copyrighted and will be prosecuted!! So that means all you gun-control nuts out there … Have a nice day. As usual, all comments are appreciated and thanks for looking … Frank
Out West … Again …
I have been going through old 120 film strips that my father shot out west somewhere. I do not have a clue where they were made ( as usual ) , but they are still interesting to me. These were made way before the interstate system was started and you took two lane roads through small towns, deserts, whatever. Back then you used to see and experience America, however it was slower. Now, everyone is in a hurry to get to their destination and all of these places are just areas on a map.
Here is a ferry somewhere out West … who knows, this could be the Mississippi River, but I sort of doubt it.
Two lane black-top was all you had for the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s until the interstate was built. No wonder it would take you almost two weeks to get across America from Jacksonville to Los Angeles. That is all I have for these images. Let me hear what you think … thanks for looking, Frank
Bob Hope …
This is one of Bob Hope that my father made from back in the late 1970’s when he came to Pensacola to play in the Pensacola Open Golf Tournament. This was out at Perdido Bay Country Club when the tournament was held there. Do not know who the man riding with Bob Hope is … so I do not know if it is he or Mr. Hope who is the Alabama fan. Maybe both! Thanks for looking …
Fisher – Pou Funeral Home …
Fisher – Pou Funeral Home was located down on Wright Street across from First Methodist Church. This was made back in the 1970’s, if I had to guess. My father was good friends with all the people who worked there and he used to take me before church started to visit. I remember him telling me this story about a group of gypsies that had a funeral there for one of the “leaders” of their group. My father went down to take some photos of all of the floral arraignments surrounding the coffin. He said right in front of the coffin were two trash cans … one held cold beer and other was for the money that everyone donated to the family of the deceased. My dad said that after that funeral, alcohol was forbidden inside the funeral … go figure. As usual, all comments are welcome and thanks for looking.
