The Castels at the Space Needle (Fall of '65).  (Left to right:  Ricky, Wally, Frankie, Larry, Peter, and Paul)  It looks like we're doing Ooh Pooh Pah Doo.  The Outfits:  Tom Jones shirts with detachable lace ruff - custom designed by Brocklind's Costume.  Green suede vests - custom designed by Western Leather in the Pike Place Market.  Green Suede Fink Boots - special order from Nordstrom/Best.  (Each one of our Dads independently coined the same term for them - Fink Boots)  Iridescent gold/brown/green rayon slacks - Bernie's Mens Wear.
