Default Birthday gift from one of my kids

Not the car, the professional photo job! Coincidentally, the movie on the marquee is Jaws which was released about the time my 75 came into being!

Thanks for the kind words, we had a good time, took about 3 hrs and have over 300 photos, many are throw aways and several of the same shot, just different angles and lighting. If anyone in the area is interested, I can give the photographers info, a young guy trying to get his business going. The price was very reasonable, under $100!

The mirror has a decal I picked up when I visited the Corvette Museum in Kentucky.
