Basketball players November 1972 Photo by Ed Lacey, Jr. 1172-0117

Black and white photograph. Two young men stand with an older woman. Both of the men are wearing basketball uniforms. The woman is laughing with a hand to her mouth while looking at a piece of paper that the taller of the two men is holding. He also has his hand on her shoulder. Behind them is an older man seated with a mug, smiling up at the woman. The taller man has the number 54 on his jersey, the other the number 30. In the background is a safe with a purse and plants on top of it and a giant flower made of tissue paper. One of the walls behind them is wood paneled.
