Billy & Betty

Rondah had a stare that would melt candle wax. She never found it useful.

Carlton never married. He would say it was because he never found the right woman. He never admitted that it was because women hid from him when he was around.

Addie always told people "I'm in the book." but she had no idea what that meant and she wasn't anyway.

Dewey DeWitt and his wife Frieda were away when this picture was taken.

Socia always liked Warren Beatty but he never called so she switched to Dick Cheney.

She always dreamed of being a movie star. When she became one, she didn't like it.

Some photo shops featured a large format photobooth.
