Behold my family in all their 1973 sartorial splendor! Popi had just completed his college degree thanks to the G. I. Bill. We left North Carolina soon after.
His parents brought two of his sisters down for the graduation ceremony. Look at Popi's mom with her awesome matching handbag and purse. Then Noni's mom had a handbag that matched her outfit! Everyone looked quite spiffy.
I was working on a bottle of 7Up. In almost every picture that day.
