Bob’s Birthday

Mike · November 2, 2013 ·

Today, Nov. 2, would have been my dad’s 83rd birthday.

My dad, Bob, in a photo taken probably 50 years ago. Today he would have turned 83. Photographer unknown.

I dug up this photo from a box of slides my mom gave me some time ago. I think it was taken in 1963 and it appears he’s standing atop what looks to be a pahoehoe lava flow. So I’m guessing it was taken in Hawaii.

Such daring!
