Another mystery image. No date or names on the photo. According to someone who would know, the young man in front is not a Guerrero. Please comment if you see anyone you know.

OK it's official! Janet Vanek is preparing for the prom. Thank you for the help!
Posting last night's photo again. Did another edit so you can see the girl's face without opening another window.
No name on photo.
