Motley Crew

A photo of a group of teens on a pontoon. Three women and three men clad in bathing suits look down at something out of frame, while the center man looks at the camera and smiles. On the back a caption reading, “This motley crew rented the pontoon boat in [unknown] + came down to Douglas beach. Pretty sure it was 1956. Our navigator was aided by Budweiser.” It then lists all of the individuals on the boat, before continuing with the caption, which reads “None of us was 21. We did replenish the beer supply in [town]. Glad it was a calm day. We got the boat back by dark. I’m sure the boat owner never again rented to teens.”
