Figure 1.--Here we see a family snapshot of the Colvin fmily. We see Bill, Betty, Mary and Jr meaning Junior. They look to be about 4-12 years of age. They are all together in an enormous sand pit. Billy wears a kind of long-sleeved polo shirt, a stange choice in the middle of the summer. We are not sure about his pants. Perhaps he has rolled them up to play in the sand. He has dark sneakers, something you do not see so much by the 40s. Betty is wearing a jumper dress and white blouse. Mary is wearing a striped shirt and fashionanle long pants. Girls still wore mostly dresses and long pants were not very common yet, but these long, wide-cut pants were being worn by movie stars. Junior wears a short pants sailor play suit. By the 40s only younger boy were wearing sailor suits.

We know the snapshot was taken on July 2, 1941 at the peak of summer just before the Independence Day holiday and all the fun with picnics and fire works. We have no idea where they are, perhaps somewhere along the northeastern coast. There seem to be toys scattered about.
