Here is a slightly later photo, and I have the details to go with it:

Date: January 9, 1946

Place: The "Casablanca" cabaret, Havana, Cuba

My mom, Gloria (now blonde) and Estelle having a night on the town. I think Sabine may have just gotten married, so that would explain her absence. Or, maybe she just wasn't up for being pawed while drinking her rum & coke (note the bottles on the table).

Left to Right: My mom, some guy who looks like Xavier Cugat and thinks he's going to score (in his dreams - he'd be better off with one of them red-headed Yolandas), Gloria, some drunk horny guy who may or may not have narcolepsy, and Estelle.

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
