UNIFORM | Fishing with Bing Crosby

Photo of Bing Crosby and his daughter Mary displaying a marlin caught in Baja California in the late 1960s by Douglas Kirkland.

"I guess you’d think I was a cheerleader or something but I was kind of one of those outsiders. I was a hopeless tomboy who likes to read. Still am. I’m not anything like I am on TV." —Mary Crosby

The photo of Bing and Mary Crosby is taken in Baja Mexico, and an old fishing club called Rancho Las Cruces on the Sea of Cortez.... I couldn't believe my eyes! But you can actually read it off the chalk board. My grandparents used to go, and then my parents, and then my brother and I when we still got spring break vacations from school. You don't get to catch marlin anymore, but that little dock is still there!! I haven't been in years and just decided to go for my 30th bday this spring, so it all feels a little serendipitous. It's a very special place
