I want to know who these guys are that my father (Louie Agazio) is hanging out with. I like this photo because it shows a little bit of his wild side and I suspect if this Italian American group were walking down the street
people would cross to the other side. The time frame is probably after World War II (1946-47), because my father is wearing his Military Police shades - he never wore sunglasses in pre-World War II photos. The only friend from his younger days I met was the tall guy on the right - Jim Tito. He must have been a close friend because he became my Godfather when I was born about a decade after this photo was taken. We used to visit him often and to the best of my knowledge he was the only friend I met from my father's younger days. I used to think these visits were boring because all the grown-up did was was talk and my brother and I were left with not much to do. Boy I wish I would have listened - I bet there were some great stories told.
The photo was probably in Colorado because, with the exception of my father's war time service, he didn't travel out of the state very much. They were probably on an outing in the close by mountains based on the background, but because there are no captions, I can't be sure. What really intrigues about this photo is my father looks almost exactly like my brother did at the same age (around 26-27) - with the dark complexion and dark wavy hair. I even see a bit of myself in him except I have blond hair (ok, it's getting a little gray) and blue eyes. I don't know who the other 4 guys are, but I sure wish I did.
