The Halloween Party in 1976 was back at AJ’s and Mays’ house on Carol Drive. Those who attended the previous two parties had some sense that a tradition was being established and there seemed to be an effort to top costumes from the year before. We saw the first examples of intentional bad taste in1976. Allan as Billie Jean King…RP’s black-face pimp…Joe’s Charles Manson. We were just feeling our way in 1976 and the “bad taste” genre gains momentum at subsequent parties before reaching really embarrassing heights.

Standing:  Allan; Susan (Joe’s date); Bobby Fox; Mike Neely; Connie Fox; Barb; Jane Robison as Mr. Peanut; Cathy Neely.  Seated: Joanne; Larry Joe; Mays; Jane (Roller Derby Queen); RP; Jan Miltenberger; Lynn Hogan.
