U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski (center) chats with Prince George's County Councilman Frank Francois (right).Mikulski was a Baltimore City Council Member when this picture was taken, and she was running for a U.S. Senate seat at the time. Her 1974 campaign for U.S. Senate is the only election that she's ever lost.
Francois served as a Prince George's County Commissioner before the county switched to the county council form of government. He served 10 years as a County Councilman.

From left to right: Future Maryland House of Delegates Member and Prince George's County District Court Judge Jerry Devlin, future U.S. Congresswoman Gladys Spellman, Maryland House of Delegates Member and party host Dave Ross, and Maryland House of Delegates candidate Marcia Krasnick. All four people in this picture were running for office in 1974. Krasnick would be the only one who wouldn't win.Bowie was in Maryland District 24 in 1974, and District 24 had three House of Delegate positions. In the 1974 election, Leo Green running as an independent would receive the most votes, Jerry Devlin would receive the second most, and incumbent Dave Ross came in third.
The entertainment.

Is Justin Ross related to Dave Ross?
ReplyDeleteJustin Ross is Dave Ross' son. Justin was born two years after these pictures were taken. My father in-law, Jerry Devlin, shared a law office with Justin's father in the early 70s. This set of pictures was interesting because I came across pictures of my wife who attended this party when she was two.
ReplyDeleteThe entertainment pic, would be part of the Small Circle of friends that was the folk group for St. Pius church. Pictured are Left to right, Marge Wander, Mike McArdle (i think) Steve Lancaster, Denise McMann (Belcher), I think the last woman is Barbara not sure and the other guy behind is Mark Haddon. Missing in this group is Joe Moran, Linda Thibodo Moran. The group was run by Father Charles Muzzy
