Photo Friday - Betty and Fred

 

My aunt Beverly Slade ("Aunt Betty") and my father Fred Slade

I do not know the occasion for which Daddy wore a boutonniere and posed with his little sister outside their home in the Cradock Gardens community of Portsmouth, Virginia.

  1. Your dad and aunt were good looking people. Have I ever told you that my dad's name was Fred?

  2. Maybe a wedding? They look too old to be going to a prom.

    1. I called my aunt. She has no recollection of the day. I'm guessing a wedding since Daddy was wearing a tux. Betty guesses she was about 14 or 15 making it about about 1947 or 1948. Of the three friends that I know, Daddy was not a groomsman (I have the newspaper clipping) for the one who married in 1948; the other two married in 1952 or later. Still a puzzle.
