More Mystery Golfer Then and Now




That would be me, one of the Mystery Golfers of May 31st, somewhere in Germany in the summer of 1961 where I had gone after graduating from Notre Dame. The sequence went something like this: graduation from ND early in June; say good bye to family and Diane and drive off with a friend to Brooklyn; move to uncle's place in Greenwich Village and hang around for several weeks; take slow freighter to Amsterdam in latter part of July. Hang out in Frankfurt near where big brother is stationed with the army; return to States in October after receiving my 'get-your-physical-notice' from the draft board; get serious with Diane while investigating other ways to serve; propose to Diane and sign up to go to US Navy Officer Candidate School. (Hmmm, got to stop this somewhere...)

The other picture is right here in Loogootee at the golf course after making eagle at #2 with the Boyz a few weeks back.

Amsterdam, huh? Was the city then anything like it is now? If it was, then I need to know more. Do tell!
