Los Hermanos, 1975. These two black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. One strip bears two images (images 31-32) and one strip bears five images (images 33-37). The images on both strips show two men, one with a beard and the other with glasses, seated at a table in a restaurant (Los Hermanos). There is a third man seated at a different table behind and to the left of the previously mentioned men. This third man is facing away from the camera. Image 31 shows the bearded man holding up a menu, laughing, and looking at the camera as the man with glasses looks at the menu. Image 32 is very similar to image 31, but both men are looking at the menu. Image 33 is very similar to the previous two images, but the bearded man is looking toward the camera and the man with glasses is looking toward the bearded man. Image 34 shows both men looking toward the camera, and the man with glasses' head is cocked slightly to his right. Image 35 again shows both men looking toward the camera, but the man with glasses' head is no longer cocked to the side. Image 36 shows the bearded man holding up the menu and both men looking at the menu. Image 37 once again shows the bearded man holding the menu, but here he is looking toward the camera while the man with glasses looks toward the menu. This image is slightly blurred, exspecially in regards to the table at which the two men are sitting.
"Dirty" Dave Wilson was the owner of Dirty Dave's Pizza Parlor in Lacey, Washington, and co-owner of Los Hermanos, the restaurant shown in these images. Ken Balsley stated that the man sitting with Mr. Wilson in the images was the other co-owner of Los Hermanos, but could not remember the man's name. Mr. Wilson and the other co-owner of Los Hermanos also co-owned a fast-food Mexican restaurant called Billy Burrito's. Mr. Balsley stated that the two men eventually ended their business partnership, with Mr. Wilson taking full control of Los Hermanos while the second man took over Billy Burrito's. The Los Hermanos restaurant was located in what is, as of October 2016, the Mayan restaurant northwest of the intersection of College Street and Pacific Avenue in Lacey, Washington.Made/Created
