A couple of photos from deep in the bowels of The Closet.
The first is Don's passport photo from February, 1981 when he was 30 years old:
Wasn't he cute? I'd forgotten he'd grown sort of a handlebar-style mustache, and could twirl the ends of it. Hard to believe that was a father of four, eh? We were going for a few days to London as part of a radio-sponsored trip. Braniff was in trouble and there were packages going for, IIRC, about $500, including airfare and hotel (per person, of course). I'm thinking this is the trip where he stayed on in England an additional week so he could attend a foundry conference or something, while I flew back alone. Well, Alex was only six months old at the time, so I hadn't wanted to be gone too long in any case, but I had always been desperate to visit England. We had a great time!
Now this second one baffles me and I'm hoping either Mom or Jeanne can say when and where it was taken:
I haven't the slightest idea!

I think that was ummmm, no, maybe umm in the 70's when we went to a fancy dance! Wow, we all looked great!!
You look beautiful and Don is his handsome debonair self! You two sure got to do some traveling, didn't you? We've been to Montreal once for a weekend when we were stationed in MA...that's the farthest and only time we've left the states.
I've said this before and I'll likely say it a few times after this, but you are a very goodlooking family, you Ivy/Gambill types! My oh my. Imagine your father's pride in being seen not only with a lovely wife but with two beautiful daughters and their very handsome husbands.
Don got one of the best passport photos known to man, I think!

What great picture. I love your hair : )
That was at the Assembly Ball we went to a year or so before Elaine's debut!
