1936. Left: Daddy in his office. 1350 Main St. (Hartford, naturally). So that's a book of stamps, of course. Right: View of old state house from his office. He took me there once in my young adulthood.

August 1937 at Giant's Neck (resort?) in Niantic or maybe Waterford. Left: "Front... Our Cottage". This is what my Mom had to say about it: "About the cottage at Knollwood: that was a nice house that we had for a number of yeaars in Saybrook at the beach. We loved spending time there. A family from church, the Tychsens, owned a "cottage" in the same block. My parents kept ours for only a few years and then sold it. Tychens had theirs forever. Their daughter Evelyn was a good friend of Aunt Martha. In later years, Evelyn and her husband even made it their home."
Right: Ann and Dave Jensen, Tante Laurina, Shirley T, Esther Tychson with Norman, Jane, Daddy, Martha, Dorothy.

Still at Giant's Neck. Left: Pass the Castor Oil! I think that refers to Jane's attitude! Center: no caption. Right: Bathing Beauties. Doesn't look like Jane was having a lot of fun!

1935. This is out of place but pictures of the both of them seem a little rare.

Mother's (that is, Marie's) cousins in Perth Amboy, NJ, 1939. I think the cousins are Emma and Anna. Left: Emma and Jack DeHann. Middle: Anna and their mother. Right. Aunt Ruth and Anna, 1940

"In the late thirties, in Connecticut". Left: Aunt Ruth and Uncle Carl (Carl was Marie's brother). Center: Uncle Carl and Aunt Ruth. Right: 59 Goshen St. Aunt Ruth and Uncle Carl's house. I visited Uncle Carl when I was little (Ruth had died in 1962; this was probably in 1964). I don't recall that house. Maybe they had moved.

Labor Day 1937. Danish VIllage, Portland Maine. It was one of the first motels in the US: https://scarboroughhistoricalsociety.org/2019/09/the-danish-village/ Left: the town hall. Center: Our House. Right: Old Orchard Beach. Caption is "A Happy Family (?)".

Christmas 1937. Left: Martha, I suppose with a new doll. Center: the kids around the tree. Right: I suspect the radio was a new acquisition.
