Foreshadowing?

A few years after he took these photos at this Standard Oil station, John Vachon went to work for them as a staff photographer. That's according to Wikipedia, and we know Wikipedia is always right.

What I didn't find, however, was whether or not the young man on the right enjoyed the rest of his summer any more than he was enjoying this July day. I sure hope so.
