New Year's Eve at Roberta Truppi's - December 31, 1974

Almost there, but Boast's (parents') car breaks down.
(That's Feather, Varmit and Terry pushing the Buick. Photo by Harry)


Tier and Nancy
(Looks like T is drinking a 16 oz. Pabst)


Jack with his hands full (but of what?)
try Kim Boetcher (pronounced Betcher) & Roberta Truppi
(Buddy Murphy married Kim Boettcher, May
2014, in Morristown). See a pop-up of them.

What is Howie saying?

How about: “...'67, cherry red, 427”


Making Mel submit


Clete and Peggy
(The kitchen is always a good place to congregate.
That looks like a bottle of champagne near the sink.)

Left: Vince Borelli and Bummer. Vince is high as a grit. Pépé Freeman and Tony Pross sitting down behind them laughing hysterically about something. Roberta Truppi lived in Morris Plains.

    • Vince Borrelli - Notice how Vince is checking out Mel to his left.
    • Tier - T proudly holds a Coors, which he probably brought with him from Texas.
    • Bob Roast - Looks like Rob is saying “mrrgh” or mumbling about something, maybe because there's no beer left except Schlitz.
    • Lynn Ryan - For some reason, was called “Mel” by Vince probably because she  looked like Melvin Levine, whoever that was.
    • Bogie (Doug Wakefield)
    • "Varmit" - Matt helped push Roast's car (his father's green buick) to Berda's party when it conked out in the snow not far from her house.
