Don, Carol and Diana. The gentleman in the center is a friend of the Philips family. There is a story here, I hope Carol will share it with us in a comment.

If I remember that wall in the background correctly, I think this photo was taken during the Shrine date in Columbus Ohio, probably around 1972 or so. The gentlemen in the middle there was one of the prop bosses for Chuck Marine and Grace McIntosh’s M&M Internationale Circus. I’m sorry that I don’t remember his name.
The others are Don, me, and Diana. The interesting background to this photo is, if you notice Diana is wearing a body leotard underneath her wardrobe. Not because it was cold, but because she had the chicken-pox.
