When The Ladies Wore Tennis Skirts ~ 1972

Ladies weren't supposed to look like athletes back in 1972. They were supposed to look ladylike, sweet and not quite sexy. North Miami Mayor Bob Hough is in the center after presenting trophies to the two ladies. I have no idea who they were. On the left is tennis legend Gardner Malloy and the gentleman on the right is another mystery. Can anybody I.D. these people?

Schmoozing With The Candidate

There was an immediate rapport between Monkette and Bonnie, total and complete! They really seemed to hit it off together.

I decided to circulate a bit. There were people there that I hadn't seen in awhile and people there that I'd just love to see again, but Monkette would never forgive me for dating a thirty year old chick! I decided it best to just stay away from the wine. I don't handle any sort of booze too well. It's bad enough just wandering around town with a toy monkey at my age! I'm not all that sure that I could get away with it being drunk too.

Monkette was intrigued with the diversity of folks we met, for the most part a younger crowd than we usually run into at these functions. In the background is a surgeon still in scrubs, on his way home from the hospital, but for the most part the guys were dressed in jeans and shirts (and a yarmulke or two) with only one guy in suit and tie. The ladies were a bit more formal in their attire, mostly skirts and dresses with heels. Pants on women seems to be a thing of the past.
