Castillo de San Marcos Ranger Log: Sept 1, 1984 Dr T. (John Tinseth) last day at the Castillo (old fort). Tomorrow he's off to the 'Big Apple" N.Y. Good luck Dr T from the gang.
6:00 PM Labor Day 1984- Big shot, Statue of Liberty Foundation contributor, offers yacht to NPS employees for a tour of the Hudson and East River. Third day working at the Statue and I figured this would happen many times -- hence my smile. It never happened again. Maybe because of my trousers.
How embarrassing. I 'popped' until meeting a nice girl from Chicago. She told me it was affected. I never 'popped' again.
Hmm. One arm in the sleeve hole of a colonial linen puffy shirt, and the other in a trad madras. Related functions of material, of course. But worlds apart in one's mind. I'm not sure it was the trousers. 1984? The beard probably gave you away. My two cents. Nice pic.

ReplyDeleteFor every thing, there is a season...
ReplyDeleteThose pants are as bad as my shoes.
"Hi Handsome! Is that a statue in the backgorund or are you just glad to see me". ;]
ReplyDeleteYou were/are(?) quite handsome, sir.
ReplyDeleteScruffy beard, cocktail, ciggie, GTH pants, and blue blazer - you were KILLING it in '84. I may steal your entire look tomorrow for casual Friday, in a sort of homage.
ReplyDeleteTintin...you looked pretty good. It's bittersweet looking at these old photos of oneself isn't it? Happy days.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I hear from you, it's this you I see in my mind. I'm going to keep it that way. This you looks like he's got a flask of Blanton's in his backpocket and a ten beer buzz on his cheeks.
