Hey
Don't know how many of you know of Jinx Falkenburg, but she was a big model and actress during the 30s, 40s and entertained at many a USO event during the war. I figured I'd show you some pix we found of my grandfather and another woman named Heddy LaMarr (not sure if famous or not). As you can tell by the shirtless and pantsless appearence of one of the soldiers, some hanky panky might've been foot, given the fact these pictures were taken in October and November 1942, a pretty conservative time yet here's this troop sitting in front of these ladies wearing only a towel.
In all the pictures, my grandfather is the one with Jinx and Heddy, for example he's the guy with both girls on each arm in the first picture. He was on leave waiting to be sent back to the Panama Canal (Fort Kobbe) and the next year was sent to Europe to fight.
My grandpa is the man on the right in this one.
