Uncle Mix in 1986.
This was my Aunt Ida's husband. Honestly, I don't remember his real name. Everybody just called him Mix. He and Ida hosted large friends and family gatherings in their yard every Sunday when I was a kid. There was a lot of drinking, gambling and carousing, but there were also a lot of my cousins and other kids to play with.
I remember that I asked if I could take his picture and he responded by striking this pose. He probably had more than a few bottles of Genesee in his bloodstream at the time.
