A Crowded Pool

People on the margins of society often have their names adorned by a question mark or the word 'possibly'. Unless their own folks were photographers and proficient recorders of family history, it will forever be that way. That is why keeping records is important, as you well know of course.
The runner beans aren't yet in the full bloom of production. But your hair-do looks efficient for the warm weather to come.

Oh, dear, Limbo. I'm usually really good with assigning names, but after your note I checked this against another photo and saw that this could not possibly be Gillian Hoye. And I don't think this is her older sister either, which puts me out of "possibilities".
So she will be renamed "unknown child" correctly - unless either Frances or Ruth, who are visiting over July 4th, can name her!
I'll let you know.
Gill and Pauline had an amazing gardener father - so different than my own - who is responsible for the runner beans.
My haircut was truly hated by me. I wanted long flowing hair but my mother said I whined too much at untangling time. Probably true.

How lovely that you remain in touch with friends from your childhood. I hope it all goes well.

Thanks! On July 6th Ruth, Frances and I will be celebrating 60 years of being in America together. Sadly, my brother who lives in Arizona, can't make it - but I'm excited for the three of us to get together.

How cute! I like the way the kids are posing in the pool and how the hose curves around behind the pool.

Thanks, Alan. I don't believe I ever saw a larger paddling pool when I lived there. Eventually we all got our own pools, (Gill and Pauline's was a first) but they never got any bigger.
It's pretty funny to me how many kids are happily using it.

Delightful photo, Deborah. Who was the photographer who coaxed the cute pose? Well-done. I hope you have a fabulous time with your friends over the holiday.

Rick, I'm pretty sure the photographer was Lil Cox, mother of our neighbors on the other side of us - the ones who didn't emigrate with us but did come over and visit.
As I just wrote to Limbo, celebrating our 60 years in the States on July 6th with Ruth and Frances. Excited!
Ruth is coming from Florida and Frances from Connecticut.

Well, friends, after a fabulous reunion, Ruth, Frances and I all agreed that we had no idea who the "unknown child" is.
A couple of us are in touch with Pauline, third from left, who lives in England. We'll see if she can tell us..
You never know. there's still a chance to identify her!
