Today my father (above, in Bayonne, NJ) turns 80, though you'd never know it from the way he still covers a tennis court. You'd think he was on roller skates. Happy birthday Dad!
Updated to add color commentary from my dad:
Love that picture because it reminds me of my many happy days as a kid on 11th St. in Bayonne. It was probably taken about 1939. Look how free of cars the street is. All but one of the homes shown were two-family with no garage and very few people there had cars or knew how to drive. Within the next 10 years we had WW II and its aftermath which produced cars everywhere and traffic which made the streets less of a playground. -Dads
Happy birthday to your Dad. What a cute picture!
