YES, THEY DO ATTACT

It's been prom season and the local girls have been gorgeous, but no one has out done these fabulous photos of my friend, Jan Rowe!

Doesn't she look absolutely "Princess Grace" relaxed and regal?  Here's what she wrote when I asked all my friends to send pictures:

"Good morning, buddy! I can find a couple pics of just me in the immortal prom dress, but I

KNOW there is a picture of me and my date (he was a dead ringer for Tommy Smothers) floating around the house. I am still searching for it. It is a hoot, to be sure, especially the hair."

This brings us to the "opposites" issue.

Yes, this would be the lovely and talented James Rowe, better half, er, spouse of Jan.  He refuses to divulge the identity of the lovely seniorita.  We only know it's not Jan and that he adopted a somewhat more reserved wardrobe style in the years after this.  Many of you may remember Jim - he was a fantastically popular piano player at the Broadmoor's Golden Bee.

OK, so I have to show you one more prom picture because I'm proud.  

To the right is my daughter and her terrific boyfriend, Zane Watkins, going to Rampart's prom this year.  They had a wonderful time and reported that the Rampart After-Prom party was just fantastic. Our thanks to the parents that organized it. 

A couple last thoughts - if you have prom pictures of your kids (or yourself!) I would love to post them.

And here's a trick we imported from Georgia last year - they have "picture parties" before prom, where they meet at a location good for photographs.  The kids have soft drinks and the adults have a cocktail party.  They arrange those girls by order of dress hue and it looks gorgeous.  I'm out of prom-goers, but I would highly recommend it.
