A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words - Party? What Party?

This contest is presented by Diane, in honor of her late husband John Kachmar, who did such a wonderful job  colorizing this photograph of their mutual friend David Hedison.

Story entries are due 25 Dec. 2018.
Entries have to refer to this picture, but not necessarily to David.
