I find myself wishing that I had been invited to this meal. Eating outside on a nice summers day when you can enjoy the food and the sun is one of the best ways to eat. The only thing on this photo is the date, June 10, 1951. That means that 70 years ago the Katz family got together and someone took this photo. I just wish I knew who was who.

I think that June is in the dark dress at this table facing the photographer. The scallop neckline on her dress and beads are so representative of that time. To me June was always fashionably dressed and what’s more fashionable then a dark garment and white beads. She appears to be looking at one of her brothers, maybe it’s Bill. I just love the lady sitting opposite him with her dark glasses, I just love her hair style. Every curl seems to be put in place. Behind June you can just see who I think is Howard and three others, one of which I believe might be our Dick. To the right of Dick, with her back to the camera is a curly head which might belong to Nancy.

The contrast between the light from the sun and the dark of the shade may be what appeals to me the most. And while, I didn’t get to participate in this meal, I think a meal like this would be such a nice experience.
