Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (185-188)

I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.

This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family.

The first photo was processed in May 1969 and the rest were processed in April 1969. Despite the slightly different processing dates, this sure looks like the same event. This is some kind of dinner celebration, probably in a church building. Not sure exactly what kind of celebration this is but you can see a cake in the background of the third photo. Maybe an anniversary of some kind? I suppose the first photo could have been from a different celebration. It looks to me like this might have been something done right after church on Sunday so it could have been a semi-regular thing and there have been other photos from other events in the same place in previous sets. Salad, chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes appear to have been on the menu.
