I really wish I knew what this was about. The LIFE Magazine photo archive lumps it in with photos related to Chicago Gang Wars in the late 60s or early 70s. The rest of the shots are solemn-faced men or crying women leaning over caskets. But what about these two?
UPDATE: Carl let me know that this is Reverend John Fry. Carl's the man.

"I am so high!"

I think he tried to cop a feel and she grabbed his package in warning!
Srsly, they do look stoned or tripping... it was the 60s-70s...
I wish I had some of what they had.
Looks like the Rev. John Fry
