Lost 2: Electric Boogaloo
The fellow's elbow on the far left belongs to one of the guys looking at the map in this photo. This is what the rest of the family was doing. Dig the bowl cut on the little guy. View full size.
No fast food!
Mom was clearly feeding her hungry brood while Dad and Uncle Joe were trying to figure out how to get to Timbuktu. Without any drive-throughs in those days, making a meal on the side of the road was very common. I am not nearly old enough to be in this family (my parents are roughly the age of the little boy with the bowl cut) and I can remember bologna sandwiches at the side of windy Colorado roads on the way to Kansas. Ahhh, memories.
