This is the O'Brien family, we believe in the early-1930s. The O'Brien family was from Boston. We have a group photograph of Dr. Eddie O'Brien and his five children, four boys and their little sister. We have the names, but not the ages or when the phoyograph was takem. We would guess the early-1930s and in fact 1930 and 31 are the only 2 years that the accademy match was played in New York's Yankee Stadium. The boys are left to right: Richard P., Robert F., Edward J. 3rd, and Paul R. We would gues the boys are about 6-14 years of age baed on basic biology. Three of the boys, however, look close in age. The boys wear similar single-breasted vested suit with knickers and varied light-colored knee socks with low cut shoes. Paul has rather grown out of his jacket. Being named fter his father may men that he is the oldest, but he is not the tallest. Little Mary Catherine wears pants and leggings. The family made the news because Dr. O'Brien had volunteered to referee the annual charity Army-Navy football classic at Ynkee stadium, although the year is not specified.
