Me at my birthday party circa 1975 in the unfortunate jeans jacket giving the thumbs up. What is most of note is that the only person at the table that was my friend is the girl next to me, Elaine. Everyone else were my brother’s friends who came for the free cake.
My mother made me a jeans vest. She patched it together from my old jeans that she had cut up. I was in 7th grade, so it was 1978. I loved it. You can imagine how the other boys laughed. I didn’t care.
Also – I still have it.
