Ed 'n' Ann

When we were kids sometimes we would get out the old slide projector (big heavy metal thing you had to feed the slides through one at a time) and explore the ever growing collection of family photos. Mostly they grew by 2 or 3 boxes each year in late August when the vacation slides came back from Park Row Drugs or wherever it was we took slide film then.

Along with years and years of obligatory Cape Cod beach photos, we would occasionally break into the "old boring" black and white slides from my parents early days. Must have been raining out.

Here's a gem from that collection. Could be pre-marriage. Can't see Ann's left hand and Ed looks like he's got a college ring on his left ring finger. I don't think he ever had a wedding ring, though, did he? Men didn't always wear them then. I wonder whose apartment the party was at. He had one over by the YMCA on Garden Street in Little Falls. They look so happy.
