It was taken around 1942-3 when he was in his mid-twenties. And while I don't know for sure, I like to think he's wearing the same outfit that my mother remembers him wearing the very first time they met.
My dad always was the kind of guy who could walk into a room and turn heads. At 5'-4" and 125 pounds he certainly wasn't a dominating physical presence. But he just had a way of commanding your attention.
Quite dapper looking. Mine looked like Elvis...Costello, not Presley.
That's my favorite photo of him.
