40 Years Ago Today - August 31, 1981

At some point in August of 1981, I got artistic. Drawing a house was pretty normal for me. The flip side of the paper I used was from November of 1980 or prior and discusses a trip to Las Vegas sponsored by the Hughes Culver City Employees Association. For $85, two people could visit Vegas via a "deluxe air-conditioned bus" that included a bar. And a "chicken box lunch." Your $85 also included two nights at the Highlander 6 Motel across from the MGM Grand, a "fun book," and tickets to the "Jai Alai Fronton and Games." Sounds more interested than the house I drew on the other side.

 

 

40 Years Ago Today - August 15, 1981

 Probably one of the only photos in the collection with such a precise date and time. The reverse says "Aug 15 545am." Based on my research, it was 1981. Both photos are from the same film production lot so it's a fair assumption that both photos were taken on the same trip in August 1981. The black briefcase my dad is carrying was a staple in his daily life for many years. The red bag I had for school was a staple in my life for a few years too. Based on the second photo, there must have been three Polaroid cameras in use.
