Anyways, I'll play. My mom at her HS Senior Ball, in Altadena, CA, 1962. The man in the photo is her friend Walter, and she was his 'beard' at a time when gay young men in HS did not come out, but Walter had done so with my mom. She and Walter remain friends to this day and see each other fairly regularly. Walter has been with his now-husband since I was a kid in the 70's, I remember the two of them coming over for dinner. Walter and hubby lived in the Castro for YEARS in the 70's and 80's and were married in SF literally on THE DAY it became legal for them to do so.
