Grandma and girls and David

Grandma Helen Holmes and Her Children

The year is about summer 1952. We all walked to the beach on LaReine ave. boardwalk.

Top left is: Midge, me, Mom. Bottom is: Cookie, David, Diane, and Linda. I remember this day. Midge and I made tuna fish sandwiches for us all to have for lunch and I asked if we could cut the sandwiches into quarters. Midge asked me why did I want to that? I remember saying " they would go further"...she laughed and laughed at that. In my 10 year old mind I really thought there was so many of us that the lunch would stretch further. Cookie was age 8, Linda was 4, Diane & Dave were about 8 months old. Midge was 20 years old here. Mom was only 40, hard to believe by 40 she had all us kids!

Harry and Bubby were not in the picture here, but it would have made 8 of us kids had they been in this photo.
