On the back it says "Thelma New York."
I'll go out on a limb here and guess her name was Thelma. What's the rest of the story?
In my mind this was one of several shots taken in a photobooth to send to a young man she'd met. She wanted him to remember her, but didn't want to appear too forward so she just put "Thelma New York" in hopes he would remember her.
Her smile makes me think of Johnny Mathis which has me thinking of this song. I'd like to think that Thelma found the boy who loved her even if he wasn't from New York.

You know, sometimes a photo just draws me in and I want the story that goes with it. If I can't have THE story I have to make up my own. Glad you fell for her too.
DeleteInteresting imagination you have. :)
ReplyDeleteShe looks very bubbling and enthusiastic - such bright eyes! If it was one of those photo booth things - perhaps Louise is in another shot.
Oh I wish I'd thought of that when I was sorting through the box!
DeleteGood work! Just look at a photograph and let it tell the story. There nearly always is one.
ReplyDeleteShe has such a warm and happy glow in her eye. I also hope she found her guy and all went well.
ReplyDeleteThelma was a very pretty girl. I want to think she was a very sweet and loving person, too. I'm joining the chorus that hopes she found the perfect guy for her to be her companion through a long and wonderful life.
