Casino Mafia ~1949

A bon voyage party hosted by the Greek community of the Richmond for Paul Panaretto and George Simos on their first trip back to Kythera. [Paul reckons the function was at the Lismore Rowing Club in ~1950, but it could have been at the Casino Masonic Lodge in ~1949. His memory’s a bit hazy these days.]
