Mom & Dad attending parties, 1945, 1948


The top picture is heavily annotated on the back: "Quite an evening" It's dated 1944, but I am sure that's wrong. Dad could not have been released from the P.O.W. camp in 1944. This must be 1945, after the war in Europe ended. "Grif is poking Jean Brooks 'RKO star' on the nose. Corrine, his daughter, is looking on. The two characters on the left are Lt. Sanchez and I. (Period) California."

The bottom photograph indicates, "[19]48 Mike Patton, Sanchez, Denver. Phyllis Baker"

They were young. They were having fun. He was in uniform or still in the service. It was still the 1940's, after the war. A decade later, the marriage was effectively over and she was on her own again.
