Not stated in the image caption is that the attendees seen were Bethlehem Steel Hoboken Shipyard employees or other corporate employees. The event was a retirement party for Veth who had been the Yard Superintendent at the Hoboken Shipyard. (See objects 2009.011.0001 for his 1940s Bethlehem Steel Shipyard employee badge with a photo of him.) Standing behind the head table near the right wall is Veth, fourth from the right, with a boutonniere. It is presumed that his wife, unnamed and wearing a corsage, is next to him.
Donor Patrick Lombardi attended along with his wife Judy; see detail image.
Lombardi was employed at the shipyard from 1957-1968 as a crane operator.
According to Lombardi, Charlie Kosbab was also present at the dinner.Acquisition
