Bowling Team. My father is in the picture.
I guess this was taken on church league night. the team was named Advent Angels. A devil was embroidered on the tail of the shirt.

Now, just for the hell of it, which one of the people in the picture is my father.

3. Definitely rear center
Looks like the father of a liberal artist type. Sensitive intellectual fella', and well liked by his buddies. That's what his eyes "say" to me.

But you were in the Military? Hmmm... could be the guy rear/left. Hell, I have no idea. I suck at this kind of stuff.

8. The guy in the center rear built radio controlled aircraft. He was
quite good at what he did. Good guy too. Not my father.

13. Interesting
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 12:38 PM by F.Gordon
Guy at top right is hard to judge. His personality seems a bit hidden in this photo.

Guy at top left has one of those smiles that he takes everywhere with him. He was probably very popular and a little insecure at the same time.

My second and final choice is bottom left. He appears both sincere and serious. He also has a subdued smile. Mind you.. this is tough. I'm trying to "see" a little of your anonymous online personality in one of these fellas'.

On edit: I didn't see that you posted the correct pick already. I'm a little slow..

16. The one on the bottom left was a trickster
He's my father.

We lived across the road from a big cemetery. We had well water fed by a sizable underground river. One day when my uncle, the top left, visited our house. Dad said that we have well water. All that rain washed over the dead bodies in the cemetery and ends up in our well. To the end, he would bring his own water to the house.


the top right fellow was a party animal. When my uncle wanted to go out and raise hell, he would call him. I don't know the bottom right fellow. Looks like a nice guy.

18. A trickster?
And top right is a party animal? Gee, I really did a good job of "guessing" personalities.

19. You can't get them all right. Even though he was a trickster,
he was serious about his work and his hobbies.

11. You and Hullboss are right.
You win absolutely nothing but the satisfaction of being right.

My dad was a noted craftsman in the antique auto restoration business. He had the connection between hand and eye that you would see in the artist. Good guy.

My uncle could have become a pro bowler, but declined. He had a good job, was involved in church work, and seemed happy. My dad turned down a chance to be a pro baseball player, but had two kids and a thriving business. Both opted for the simple life of home and hearth.

15. Tell your dad I liked his curl...
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 01:20 PM by HullBoss
That's what did it for me.

On ed. - I see you used the past tense. Is your dad deceased? In any event, he was one handsome man.

(And I'm not HullBoss, I'm Mrs. HullBoss, Blue+In+AK. I get my computer back today and will be back to normal.)
