Happy Father’s Day

My dad James and me, posing for my mom, on a Saturday in Brooklyn. My dad still has that smile: he remains one handsome devil. Happy Father’s Day, Dad. And Happy Father’s Day to all.

    Great shot.

    My dad's been gone a long time.

    Here's my pic from last year.

    Thank you, RL.

    Thanks for sharing the photograph, JzB. It’d be great to see a whole parade of fathers in T-shirts from back in “the day” — my dad is wearing one in a number of old photographs.
