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.

(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.
