Another family heard from!

Just for a change, and because I am thinking of all the Liningtons today, Peter found me a photo of his Mother Cora at the Breezy Point Surf Club in Rockaway, NY, at the mouth of NY Harbor in 1938 or 1939.
From the left, around the umbrella, is an unknown friend, then Cora, nee Smith, then her friend Doris Hanenberg Lynch, an attendant at Mother and Dad's wedding in 1940, 4th is Erna Linington Evans, (Joe's older sister), and last, is Alva "Wu" Linington Persike. Oh, those happy days at Breezy Point!

A month later? Really?




Well, here I return, almost a month since my last posting, but things have been a bit busy for us. 
These beautiful ladies are the Myers girls, my father's mother and her 3 sisters. from the top center Jude, then my grandmother, Jane Myers Dayton, then Sister Babe, and sister Beatrice Myers Rogers. Wouldn't you have liked to know them then? I can see where the curly hair was from! I need to do more research on them, but Aunt Bea's home in Orange County, NY was turned into a community college some years ago. Judy and I have fond memories of a great formal dinner there, some 60 years ago.
