1967 Press Photo Larry Vance, celebrating his 13th birthday on Friday 13th

"I don't believe in superstition," asserted Larry Vance, who is celebrating his 13th birthday today. The rare combination of becoming 13 years old on Friday the 13th makes the Hazel Park fifth grader especially vulnerable to the caprice of Lady Luck, according to an old superstition.

Photo is dated 1967.

Photo measures 10 x 8.25 inches.
