Just because I love this photo, which was taken in a county fair photo tent. My dad is on the right with the blonde hair and those are his best friends. I'd say it's 1955 or 56.

My parents in 1960. Apparently a few days after this was taken my dad got a flattop, on a dare, of one his friends. There's an old film of him shoveling his brothers car out of the snow and my mom coming home find out he cut his hair. She proceeds to get angry and throw a snowball at him. He retaliates and then tackles her putting her face in the snow as payback. There are handful of 3 minute films of them from around that time and they are fantastic. In one of them, all the guys are standing in a line and it looks like a contest on who has the biggest hair.
 
see this kind of thing is what made America so appealing back then..

Irish home videos of the time are invariably of badly dressed homely people at weddings looking uncomfortable
