      This photo taken by my grandfather is of his wife (in red) and their friends in a hotel room at The Dome Motel in Marinette, Wisconsin. My dad said they used to go up there with groups of friends all the time. My grandparents owned a supper club in the Appleton/Green Bay area so that would make sense.

      The gentleman on the right is licking the end of a flash bulb before he puts it in his camera. Not sure what my grandma and her friend are doing but it looks like they’re having fun.

      ***Side note:*** *The man who took this photo is the man in the bathtub, reading Life Magazine, smoking a cig I posted last week.*

    2. There’s a very good chance those pills are dexamyl or desbutal, which was legal at the time, they were up to the 50’s equivalent to maybe a tina and play hotel party, no shame in that
