August 1975

In August of 1975 I went to the Susquehanna Arts Festival with my bud Arch. Actually, we went there with his girlfriend Iris. She was selling her photographs at a small kiosk at Riverfront Park. We spent most the day wandering around checking out the other artisans and sipping on our bottles of wine. I don’t remeber when but at one point a Harrisburg City Policeman was walking by her display and stopped dead in his tracks. He turned to us and asked, “Who here is over 21?” . Iris was the only one to raise a hand. The cop shook his head and made the rest of us pour out any wine we had in our hands. After admonishing us to NOT be so obvious he started to walk away. This is when Iris jumped up and asked the cop if she could take our picture up against his car. He said yes. She took the photo and for reasons way beyond my comprehension it survives to this day.
So I want to know….what were you doing in August 1975?
BTW, I’m the ginger on the left. Arch is the Roger Daltry clone.
