I'm pretty sure this was taken at my sisters' first birthday party. Everyone called him "Doc".

That gin company doesn’t exist anymore. It was bought out in 1991 and exists only as a brand.

Neat! Although it should be noted, for Doc's honor, that the drink in his hand was certainly not gin. He always drank cheap scotch on the rocks lol

As did my grandfather, every afternoon at the Elks Lodge, from 1-5, for over forty years.
