The rest of the picture is quite a awesome memory as my dear sweet husband in this photo was accidentally killed when working on a friends house in Hilo, Hawaii. He was electrocuted by a skill saw that he thought he had repaired but when he put it back together he neglected to reconnect the ground wire. He stepped in water which is everywhere in Hilo because it rains quite a bit there. He was only 23 when he was killed and was an awesome surfer which is why he moved to Hawaii from San Diego, so he could surf the big waves. He always said that he wouldn't live to see his 22 birthday. Well, enough of that but I just want to say that he was my high school sweetheart and we married right out of high school.
His smiling face was always so infectious as anyone could tell you that when he smiled at you , you just automatically smiled back. He was an awesome father and the little one is my middle daughter, Susan. I think she must have been about a week or two old here.
She now has her own blog and 5 children of her own

I remember 1967 very well. It was the year I got married.
I also remember using one of those hairdryers! The hair rollers I used were a metal mesh and the heat of the dryer made them hot on your head. You leave the dryer on too long and it felt like your scalp was on fire.
And check out the James Dean look with the short length jeans that your handsome hubby was wearing. Somewhere I have a pic of my hubby wearing a paisley shirt. Remember when all the guys wore them?
Thanks for the memories!

Oh yea, and how about the Madras shirts too. The more you wash them the better as the colors would bleed into each other and that was the look you were going after. At least it was in Souther California.
OH MY! Yes, that brings back memories to me, too! I think we had matching outfits! lol I was 17 that year...and married! Memories...memories! It's good we have some old photos! And that is so sad about your husband. I'm glad we both have happy marriages now.....as we grow older! HUGS! ♥♥♥

Yes, I remember it well. NOT
But what about those awesome looking parents I had/have?
I was a junior in high school and I remember it very well. It was definitely when I really 'grew up'. Stating thinking for myself, making decisions that would change my life. I met my first husband and father of my 3 children in 1969. It was a time of world turmoil and personal happiness. I will never forget it.
I, too, am very happy now and glad to be married to my true soul mate!
