Sheepshead Bay Boys
Sheepshead Bay Boys
I wanted to share this great pic of my brother in law (far right) and his friends in 1963 Brooklyn.
There's something about this pic that I really love. Maybe it's the New York'ness of it or the carefree look of kids who could just go out and play without all the worries of today's society - that being said they were only a few blocks from home:)
Thank you Pam WhimsicalVintage for this look back. Cameras and Jawbreakers, a sunny day and 5 friends together again just hanging out. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThere is a peninsula here in Ireland, in Co.Kerry, also named Sheepshead. It has a lighthouse and is a good place for photographing excellent sunsets.
ReplyDeleteLove this, Pam! Was it your brother in law who knew Jesse Mayfield? Just made the connection of Sheepshead Bay and wondered? No, that was your husband if I recall now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting frank o'shea , I'll look that it up, it sounds beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRight Margaret Siemers ...a good day in the good old days!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann Kennedy , they both are but Jesse was in Jeff's grade, so he knew him first and then Bruce. Jesse used to come up to their apartment all the time for lunch and was also close with Bruce's dad.
ReplyDeleteDid I link you the commercial Jesse's in?
Pam WhimsicalVintage Neat! Send me the link when you have a chance. I haven't seen it. I loved reading Jesse's book and have told many others about it. Thank you:-)
ReplyDeleteI will Ann Kennedy , I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and thank you for sharing the book:)
