Little Angels
That’s little Joan, taken at North Pole NY. This was a Christmassy theme park that we went to on a family vacation one Summer int he late 50’s or early 60’s. What I find very interesting, is that all the angels are so ethnically diverse. Quite amazing for that time!

Corky & Barbie
Polish children are taught early how to handle the bottle and not get falling down drunk.

Carefree Days
I think this is my mom riding a bicycle on St. Joseph’s Ave. in Trenton, NJ. She looks to be a teenager here so the time is the 1940s. I like how the focus is on the back, not the foreground. It’s like looking back in time.
