Del
The picture to the left is of Mimi and
Del Thibodeaux, a fellow Air Force buddy who I only knew for about 3
weeks while we were traveling to our duty assignment at Berlin Germany.
As was typical of the Air Force, they goofed up our orders and Del, Mac
Dumler, Hank Smith, Fred Worth and me were told once we arrived in
Germany that our orders had been red lined and new orders for England
were being issued. Well we just goofed around for about 3 weeks with no
orders and our money running out quickly before I went out to the flight
line and got the orders off of the C47 pilot who had been carrying them
around Europe not knowing who to give them to. There is a lot more to
that story that I may add later.
The picture to the right - above is the the Rockin Aces, a band that Del was in after
he got out of the Air Force. Del was raised in Louisiana and the deep
south is where Rock and Roll started. If I can get a cut I will put on
of the Rockin Aces of 1966-67 on this page.
The picture to the left looks like Mimi and Del are dressed for a
Halloween party. Actually Mimi is from Cuba and I heard see makes a lot
of her own clothes. It looks like she made an evening gown which Del is
modeling for her, and the mini dress that Mimi is wearing was
perfect for those hot
days in Houston where they live. I must say Del does look good in the
full length gown.
The following 2 pictures are of Brenda
and Mac Dumler, we can see by the first picture they have both aged very
nicely. I do not know the name of the dog. I am sure they feed him well
but by his pose in the picture it looks like he wants to bite the camera
man.
These
next 2 pictures are of Ruth and Don Lewis. Don called to say they were
going to be in town from their home near Atlanta. Even though it rained, Don and I played 9 holes
of golf on a very damp and misty day. I do not know if Don was putting me on or
maybe he is really just a little better than I am. I think he was
thinking of Hank Smith who golf's a lot more than I do. Don had a
little trouble that day because he had a bad back and it effected his
swing. But knowing Don he was probably trying to get me to make a bet.
Don was known as one of the best pool sharks in the Air Force so knowing
that I did not make any bets concerning my golf play with him.
This
next picture of Ruth and Don was taken in our sun room. I mentioned our
young sexy next door neighbors liked to jog around their house naked
about this time of the evening. I was just joking as it was more like a
tag team race since there was a lot of touching and giggling going on. You can see
the interest they both had. Ruth had to hold Don back as he wanted to
play to. I think I could win a bet that by the looks of the over hang at his belt line I doubt if
he would be able to catch anyone, but Ruth looked like she was still in
pretty good shape. She had more of a chance to catch them than any of us. |
