My uncle
Robert Ray "Bus" Hunter (1906-2005).
It appears that Bus is dressed in his finest, which traditionally people
used to do on Easter Day. I don't know
if this picture was taken on Easter Day or not.
I remember when I was less than ten years old one Easter we, as a
family, sat in the car on the Square in Marietta, timed to be there when church
let out. It was enjoyable watching
people come to the Square dressed in their best to get an after church ice
cream at one of the Square's five drugstores (Jones, Hodges, Williams,
Athertons, and Reynold's and Ferra). It
was an impromptu Easter Parade.
Speaking of
Easter Parades, when in the Navy,
stationed in New Jersey, on Easter Sunday, about 1964, a bunch of us went to
Atlantic City's Boardwalk. It was the
mother of Easter Parades. With the exception
of us, people were dressed up, gaudy but
nice.
