Too cool to save...

NHRA's Bob Frey was rummaging through the trunk of his 1976 Dodge Aspen and ran across these very rare shots of a young Russell James Liberman.

This is Jungle's high school graduation photo from 1967? On the back is a note from Jim to Bobbie, his high school sweetheart who later became his wife.
