Throwback Thursday: Strawberry Fields Forever

By
Real Estate Agent with UNITED REAL ESTATE | Central PA RS193539L

THS Prom 1969 Strawberry FieldsA boyfriend from high school sent me this photo from our prom in 1969.  This is the only photo I have of the occasion since I lost all my keepsakes in Hurricane Agnes in 1972 while attending Bloomsburg State College.  

 

The theme of the prom was Strawberry Fields Forever, after the Beatles song released in 1967.  We were always light-years behind in Northeastern Pennsylvania, as most of us were busy working on the farms or milking the cows.

 

Can you guess which one of the gals in this photo is yours truly?

I'm departing from the others and saying second from left -- something about the mouth and chin....

Hi Bette Gottwald 

Great photo and how wonderful that he had kept it for so long and sent it to you. I am guessing you are the one in the center. I loved that song by the Beatles.

Far right was my first thought, but then there was something about 2nd from left.....I should have gone with the wisdom of the Rain!

Thank you for the comments everyone.  Yes, I'm the gal on the right. Even though it was several decades ago, my recollection of the evening is vivid, proms are events most of us will always remember.
