Josephine was a figure in
the Manila social swirl, and she and Tom III were invited to receptions
at the Presidential Palace - the The Old Navy was a wonderful place of
manners, excitement, and romance - alas war would come and the magic of
that time and place would disappear into the photos and mementos of a
bygone time - but my goodness they were such grand times. |

Josephine in
Manila - with the guys. This is an old photo booth picture taken at
Legaspi Garden. In its metal frame, it is a glimpse back to pre WW II
Manila and the times of the young social set. Among the many things that
are now lost is how much did the "Photomatic" cost and what
was Legaspi Garden?
