Uncle David, Photographer (probably Estes Park, Colorado, probably early 1960s)

There was a previous photo of Uncle David posted a couple of years ago, but this one captures more the person Elizabeth and I knew in the 1960s and 70s. He lived in Little Italy (on Sullivan St.) in Manhattan, and Elizabeth worked with him at the Equitable. He had a lot of hobbies that he took seriously, and photography was one of them. These pictures were probably taken in Estes Park, Colorado. There have been a few photos already posted from there, since Elizabeth's father's family often vacationed there.

The only picture previously posted of Dorothy Good, Elizabeth's grandmother (for whom Dora is named), didn't give a real sense of what she looked like. But here is a picture of her taken, I think, at the same time as the above, undoubtedly by Uncle David. Next to Elizabeth's grandmother is Elizabeth's grandfather, and their son (and thus David's brother), Tony, is in the back.

Elizabeth and Paul, with Their Parents (various locations, about 1949-56)

Elizabeth and Paul and their parents lived in two houses in Port Washington, NY, first on Davis Road, and then Richards Road. Below is a collection of pictures of Elizabeth and Paul with one or both of their parents. (Elizabeth supplied the locations.)

"At our house on Richards Road."


Unknown location.


Estes Park, Colorado, in the Rockies, where they vacationed with their parents (it was where their grandparents sometimes vacationed).


"Probably on our friends the Beggs' boat - they were the only people I can think of who took us out on a boat."


"Might be Watkins Glen, but I don't really have a reason for thinking that." (As children, Elizabeth and I both went to Watkins Glen several times with our families; it was between Syracuse and New York. We both remember it as a wonderful place.)


"I think the next is on Davis Road."


Jones Beach


"Davis Road, on the street."


"Davis Road, next to the garage."

Elizabeth's Uncles Tony and Bob (unknown place, possibly Estes Park, CO, unknown date, possibly about 1955)

Now the only uncle of Elizabeth's I am missing is Jessica's brother, Stirling.
