He looks pretty cool with his leather jacket, blue jeans, and boots. He was quite the lady's man. Anybody else have pic of their teenage parents?

Cool pic.Was he as cool and bad in his leather coat & he is in real life? Was he cool enough to roll a pack of cigarettes in his tee shirt sleeve? If not,he still looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing that cool pic! _________________ "A missed opportunity will eventually come again."-DUBSPEACE:the philosophy of jdub

He's actually not a teenager when this pic was taken, he's 21 but Mom is just 18. We used to tease Dad that he looked like an old time gangster in the picture. They married when Dad returned to the states in 1946. This was taken at a studio in Harvey's department store in downtown Nashville. Harvey's closed it's final store in 1977. _________________

But you're right - I also thought he was older than he appears in the photo.
