THE DUNROAMIN SWIMMERS and MY THEN-SCANDALOUS 'SIDE-LACER' SWIMWEAR

 



details, vastly enlarged, 'collaged' from scratchy 120mm negatives, made in 1955...... the Dunroamin Swimmers...(I'm in there, somewhere) and their parents, on a visit to the Fayetteville, Tn. Summer Camp.....to watch our 'swim meet'...... I 'won' both the inverted breast stroke and back stroke competitions.....giving my parents some 'hope' that I would 'just be like other boys'......They weren't given the opportunity to see our Basket Weaving and Lariat-Making accomplishments...that I was far more proud of.....Or my Choctaw Indian Dancing..... Afterwards, we drove into 'town' to see Elvis Presley perform onstage....for tips! [and his hips didn't lie, either, Shakira!]
