And he was already an alcoholic

1972 Prom

I dug these pictures out of a shoebox while clearing out my Mom's home the other day. I had not seen them since the mid-70's. My prom and graduation were in 1972.
My parents refused to spend the money to rent a tux and accessories, so Mom handmade the entire outfit, including tie. I can remember, at the time, being so embarrassed that I couldn't get a rental tux and had to "bum it" wearing a homemade suit. Wish I still had the tie. LOL

Forget the tie, I wish I had your hair today.

You are so dang cute! I cannot imagine MAKING a tux. No wonder your mom has a son who is so present in her life.

That wallpaper!
That gigantic tie!
The lapel trim!
The ruffles!
That goofy smile!
That lopsided hairdo!

God, I miss 1972.
