Shooting some hoops in our yard in Kirbyville Texas. 1955.
The bench in the picture above is where old men met in Kirbyville Texas to sit and talk. It was called "The Hookworm Bench". In the link below you can see a picture of how this location looks today. Some one has painted a picture on the wall of that same building that shows old men sitting where real men once sat.
