That's the way he dressed all the time...even at home on Saturday and Sunday.

That building to left may be Security First Bank on 5th street. He used to go in that bank and schmooze with the lady bank clerks.
He had several girl friends even after he was married to my mother...which caused 4 more children that he had to find homes for. We suspect there were others before that.
I did mention the
Desmond's credit card because the boy's clothes in that store were spectacular. I didn't use an actual card, I just said his name to the clerk.
It was like a candy store to me, as I was used to the mundane local stores in suburban Alhambra.
He let me use his 'name' twice at that store but never again. He indicated it was not fair to my siblings for me to get fancy
Desmond's clothes [ that he had to pay for].
I enjoy those color slides
ER.!! Its like being in 1940.
