Happy Father’s Day to Dearly Departed Thomas Blake Day, Legend in Everyone’s Mind.

Mom and Dad hardly ever made photo albums. Mom allowed me to sort through drawers of photos to fish out photos of both of them.

Almost the same group as above.

With a fraternity brother at Cornell. Late 1950’s.
At the Robert Day Deans Commissary on Long Island serving the kitchen help some wine. Or, on the set of the Sopranos? Mid 1960’s.
Mount Washington with Marco, 1990
Dad at Eleazars, his nightclub in White River Junction, VT, in mid 1970’s.
Front of Eleazars back in the day. Dad made the sign in the TV room of our home in New York. Building burned down in the 2010’s.
Dad’s employees at his swimming pool construction company gave him a blow up doll named “Bubbles” for his birthday. 1980’s? It was a different time…
Dad liked talking on the phone. Wish I could call him up right now.
