Quondam Tuesday

My Father's Birthday is this Saturday. He will be 74.
In his honor I dedicate this Quondam Tuesday to him.
Thomas Allen Meyer
school picture...around 1948?
around 1954
I love this shot of Dad. He loved automobiles. If I asked him about this photo, he'd be able to tell what year it was taken and something about the car too.

Senior yearbook photo 1956
This photo is tattered as many of my photos seem to be. This was taken his senior year, although he left before graduating to join the Navy. {He still graduated, but back then they encouraged young men to join as soon as they were 18, which he did.}

Dad's the skinny boy on the right 1956
Here is our Sailor! His job in the Navy was work on the planes out on the Naval carriers.
1956 Hong Kong with Buddies. Dad is 2nd from right
Another photograph that I love! I am glad he has some photos from the service. He is so young.

Mom & Dad's Wedding ~ August 8th, 1959
Very cool Tux. I love that it is black & white instead of all one color. Look how young they are! Babies getting married. Mom is 18 and Dad is 22.

1st married Christmas.. 1959?
I wish these photographs were marked. I am guessing here at the dates. I know this was after they married (Dad's wearing a wedding band) and prior to the accident.

Dad, Julie, & Baby Janis 1962
Looks like we are meeting...

Janis, Dad, & Julie 1965
 Here we are with our Dad.

Grandpa Texas & Dad 1970
At our house on Audubon Road. Dad loved his bar in the basement.

Mom & Dad 1973
Nice mustache Dad...very 70's

Dancing with Dad 1987
Here is Dad & I dancing at my sister in laws wedding. It was the last time we danced.

Julie, Dad, & I 2010
Okay this last one is not that old. But I thought it was a good one to end Quondam Tuesday with.
I love you Dad♥

Similar Dance Memories


Check these out:


Annie and friends at her 8th Grade Dance. These are some of her best friends then and now.


Kalen, Tom, Annie,

Jessica, Julie, & Haley


Here are my Besties and two more dear friends in 1979 at a High School dance.


That is Mary Coleman & Kim Sheets joining Deb, Sher, Lynn & I. (I wish I had Rich in the photo!).

How funny! Tomorrow I must make copies as "my girls" do not have copies. Thirty years later, I think I owe them copies!

Dances are great with a date. But the best memories come from the Dances with your friends. We had dates at the 1979 dance, but I am not sure where the photo of me and the date is! But this one, it is priceless! I am thinking Annie will cherish hers just as much!
