Drinking and driving don't mix. Especially when you're chauffeuring a homecoming queen. Kara writes: "That's my mom as homecoming queen at my dad's all male college: Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. Any of the students could nominate their girlfriends, which my father did. Then they had to go through an interview process. All very formal. The guy driving the car on the football field was very, very drunk, hence my mom' s nervous look." Okay so he almost got her killed, but the gesture was nice. So nice...
... she agreed to marry him. "She wore the flower mini-dress at my parent's engagement party in 1968." Dad seems pretty psyched about nabbing his queen. Mom, meanwhile, is all "don't touch the ruffles buddy, we're not married yet."

Hi - Love the blog found you via country living and I hope you do not mind I told my followers about you so they could pop along and have a look. I will also be posting some photos of my mum from the 40s and 50s so may add one to your link. I am in the UK so it may be a nice touch cousins across the water. www.beverleylovestosew.blogspot.com
What a funny story, like a movie without all the bull-crap drama. Just lovely haha:)
What a fun blog! I love all the vintage pictures. I will have to dig up some photos of my mother and send them to you. She was very stylish all through her life, but especially through the 70s. I found you via Country Living!
Hugs, Sharon
