Do these count as more Pipe and Tabor pictures?
And here's a nice one of us, if I can be allowed to use the word nice anywhere in the proximity of that beard...
Who is in the lefthand bath? Is it Tommy?
And which is you in the chess team? Bottom left?
Because it is Laurel in the right hand sink, right?
Questions, questions...
And that photo with the haircut and the GLASSES. It's amazing how you look like me and like Leo there. Somewhere right between the two of us.
Chess team; that's me, bottom row 2nd from right of photo (I think; it was 50 years ago)
Laurel in the right hand sink; the third bather is Donovan, who is immortalized as the first to utter that renowned commune-kid question (age 4, in Australian accent) "Are you screwing my mummy?"
Thanks for the P&T pictures; in fact I have several others I realize, some of which feature another friend of mine who I hope will come to the party...
I'd not noticed how we do look alike in that photo; I give the credit for that (like much else) to my dad
Wonderful stuff. There are some striking similarities between all three of us in those. I am sadly bereft of pipe and tabor pictures, or of any pictures at all that I haven't already sent you in various earlier birthday and other celebratory cards.
