When my dad was a young man in San Francisco (his late teens I believe) he used to go to one of the beaches there with a group of his friends. One of those friends was Lana Turner (obviously way before she was famous).
We have pictures of him "marrying" her in a mock beach wedding....all in swimsuits. She was quite pretty and very nice.
They had great fun growing up "double clutching" their Model T's up and down the hills of San Francisco and hitting the beach on the weekends.
Always made me feel like I missed out on a great era!
We both missed out on the beautiful young Lana Turner.
