Starts with 'F'. After perusing my files, I found three that ought to work :) On top, my father was a reporter for UPI and gad the opportunity to be a passenger on a USAF fighter, more specifically, a Republic F-105, and write about it. Dad is on the right. I don't know who the pilot was, but his handle was obviously 'The Texan'. I believe this to be in 1960 at Nellis AFB near Las Vegas. I'd love to find that article in print...
This is at a food-truck festival in Shelton CT last year. And, this one is from Fryborg who sells unique tasty french-fries and sandwiches. Two years ago I ordered special Fries covered with andoule sausage, pickles and a spicy Creolaise sauce evoking New Orleans. Fabulous! If you want this truck at your event in southern CT, you have to order it months in advance - it is that popular. Carb laden comfort food :)
Self portrait. This was taken in 2010, but my features are not all that different today. All but my hair that is...way more gray today. Thanks Teresa!
...Ralph, once again I enjoy your B&Ws from the past. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of your Dad with that pilot - and a lot of good ideas for covering the letter F. I like your self portrait - you look very studious. Those reflector sunglasses hark back to the pilot shot, too. I love the little red Fiat - I can picture myself driving that car.

ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome picture of your daddy with the pilot and the plane. I have a subscription to an old newspaper database and maybe I could find that article for you. If you could let me know your daddy's name, I will do a search for the article and send it to you if I find it.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend.
Nice to see you! I love the image of your dad and the pilot. That would be amazing to find the journal article. Hope you can and share it with us. Nice images of NYC. Thanks so much for joining in Friday's Hunt. Have a great rest of the week.
