...and despite computer meltdowns and picture retrieval and reorganization, we've reemerged!
Over the holidays we had my (Colin's) family around. We found ourselves going through old family pictures/videos going back decades, and found this old footage. I can't believe I'd never seen this before. Had to share it with you all.
This is from one of the Marine Corps Balls in Vienna while my Dad was stationed there as an embassy guard. Dad is over on the right side in his dress blues dancing with some local Austrian girl I'm sure. But one of my favorite parts is seeing some of our closest family friends, Phil and Traude Smith, tearing it up on the dance floor. I love that Phil was obviously given permission to wear traditional Austrian lederhosen to the ball. And that may be the last time Traude wore a dirndl. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of my family's history.
