This picture was taken in 1976, 4 years before my Dad died.

The picture was discovered in a keepsake box of my Mom’s that we found after she died. I had never seen the photo before. It is now framed.

I don’t know much about the picture; I was 12 when it was taken.  I do note that the burgers look over-cooked in traditional Veale fashion. I think my Dad is really sporting in his checked polyester leisure pants.  There was a jacket with it too.  I also recall that my Dad liked whiskey sours. I’m pretty sure that is what is depicted here. 

My Dad used to call me “Pumpkin.”  I love pumpkin pie. Then he’d say, “What’s the story, Lori?”

Cheers, Dad!  I’ll always love you….Pumpkin
