My parents on a date at a downtown nightclub in the early 1950s. Now in their 80s, and married for 57 years, they both love this photo, and so do I. He was a Navy vet from a coal-mining town in Pennsylvania. She was born and raised in the city, and loved to dance. I love the coy look in her eyes. And I love that hat. I wonder what they were drinking, and what they talked about that night. They had their whole life ahead of them. View full size.

Thanks for sharing your Mom & Dad with us. They are an attractive couple. Lucky you they are still together. What a tribute to their love.

Mom and Dad at their nightclubbing best! I always refer to what your Mom was drinking as an "umbrella drink." I suspect Dad might have a Long Island Ice Tea and Mom has a Mai Tai.

Thanks for posting.
