Gene pool

bighairreunion

Oh, my.  I don’t know what this picture is, but I suspect it is my father’s 10 yr HS reunion. Maybe 15.  But OMFG, is that some BIG HAIR or what?  My dad is the guy with the big ‘burns on the far right.  He had longish hair, everybody else looks like they were sporting army haircuts.   My hippie genes are come by honestly.

Also, all the men are on one side, then all the ladies.  And then my dad.  What up wit dat?

  1. Your dad must be close to my age. I think I have a picture like this of my 10 year reunion. But he might be 10 years older or so. I wonder how many women died from the fumes of all the hairspray it used to take to maintain those beehives?

  2. Nah, he’s quite a bit older than you are. 80 this year. So maybe that picture was 74 and not 64? And it was his 20th+or-.

  3. Man, don’t you wish you see exactly what that hair was DOING?
    My fave is the woman in the long white dress, front row centerish. Very TALL hair.

  5. I think there were little “appliances” available from K-Tel to stuff under there. Plastic half bubbles with spikes. They sell modified versions of them now, called
    “bump-its.”
    I’ve got to have one. Now.

    This is fricken hiLARious!! I think Dad is on the end next to all the women because he’s so dang short. The beehives are a good foot taller than he is! I like the “baby-in-the-hair” theory.
