Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ photos that I have stored on my computer. Little lost moments in time that I either captured with a lens, scanned or just stole from someplace on the internet. I like to find just one and post it up and recall or relive the picture to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is a pretty easy task and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it has always been a lot of fun.
This weeks pic goes all the way back to the mid-late 1950's, back when Dad still had his NBA dreams alive and he was playing for the mighty Van Voorhis School. My Dad by the way is in the front row and all the way on the left. If my math is right, this was about the time that Jerry West and the Mountaineers were the #1 team in the country. They played for the National Championship the next season, but lost.
I hear Dad was holding out for a Nike shoe Deal, which hadn't been invented yet, instead of the common Chuck Taylor Canvas Converse that everyone wore during those years. I think I even wore them clear up to about Jr High School. It was Nike not existing at that time that Dad decided to give up his NBA dreams and go back to being a kid.
Have yourselves a great day.
