Photo from my father's friend, Uncle Ed Pacia
Back in the 70's, this photo was taken on a grand meet up day at the beach of the Cavite Sector of the Cowboy Radio Communication Inc. I asked my father (the one in the red polo) what this group is, he said that they are one of the first (if not the very first) Citizen Band Radio Service group in the province of Cavite. My father said a lot of his friends from here in General Trias started their friendship through the Cowboy CB group. This maybe taken half a century ago but they all look so young as if it was just taken yesterday! Most of these men are either still living in Cavite or now in the United States.
Special Thanks to Uncle ED Pacia for letting me share his amazing timeless photograph.

I love old photos. This one is fun. And I love how some of the boys are doing bunny ear behind other boys. They do that world over. It is great to see every country shares so much in common, even with our differences. Happy Thursday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHello dear Erika! That is such a great observation! You are right, I have seen pictures and videos from other countries and through my travels that they also do that :) Happy Thursday Erika!
DeleteOh, The 70's - So Timeless
ReplyDeleteCheers
Yes my friend the Padre! Everyone is so stylish and cool and happy during those days :)
DeleteThey all look so young and happy!
ReplyDeleteThat is very true dear Rose! They all do!
DeleteNow that is some happy bunch of blokes, Stevenson! Does the club still exist in some way?
ReplyDeleteHallow Iris! It does not anymore but those from there who came from our town started a group of theirs called Gasner which my Dad is part of :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful photograph and a fabulous slice of history Stevenson. I remember the days here, in the late 1960's, when there was a group who started a private radio station - from a ship in the Hauraki Gulf - private radio was prohibited then - now it is common!

Wow! It's amazing that the emergence of the private radios paved the way to public ones and the fact that they were prohibited before and now is common, shows how innovative minds need to somehow break the norm :)
DeleteHappy Thursday Dear Maxine!
Oh that is brilliant SQ, such a fun happy group gathering, captured here forever 💜
ReplyDeleteThat is very true dear Grace! Grateful for these photos taken by my dad's friends, I can see all of them during their days :)
DeleteIt's nice that friendship can last forever like your father and group friendship. Hopefully our friendship among blog users can also last forever.
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice and thoughtful of you to say Himawan! I believe that is very very much possible :) I am very honored to have known you all my blog friends :)

ReplyDeleteI know I blog about polishes, but I am forever taking photos when I am out and about. I see interesting things everywhere :-D
I very much am with you on that Ananka! When I went outside last Sunday for the first time in 3 months, my camera had almost a hundred of shots, very much appreciating the interesting things I saw which was not noticed by me before :)
DeleteA treasure of a photo with fond memories ~ Xxx
