Description |
Octogenarian Gathering - This is a picture that was taken by Mel Liechty on 22 May 1961 at a gathering of men who had all reached their 80th birthday milestone. The men are all wearing suits and ties and are gathered in a building, possibly a church or restaurant, that has a very long coat rack. You can see the coat rack behind them, and to the far left, you can see some wire coat hangers and see that they have all put their hats on the shelf above the coat rack. The wall appears to be covered in wooden paneling and the floor in linoleum tiles. Above the men you can see a couple square lights framed in silver inset into the ceiling and one air vent. On the right hand side of the picture, just above the hat in the corner, is a trapezoid shaped speaker possibly used for a sound system. The picture has a rectangular section across the bottom that has their age and identification typed into it. |
