My dear aunt Hoohoo piloting one of their wooden boats in Long Island Sound. This small black & white photo is only 2 1/2 inches square, but has always captured my imagination. Her smile is so broad and real, it's just pure joy being out on the water with her then-fairly new husband. This photo dates to about 1955 when she would have been thirty years old. Believe it or not, the reason I colored that boat cushion blue is that I still have it. It's packed away in the attic. I really have tried to save as much of my family's history as I can and it hasn't been easy.
55 WAS A GOOD YEAR. GRADUATION FUN ETC. YOUR AUNT WAS SUCH A PRETTY LADY. IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE THAT ONE AUNT THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU.IF AND WHEN YOU LOOK BACK I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVED YOUR MOM AND HOOHOO. IT COMES THROUGH EACH TIME YOU WRITE ABOUT THEM.THOSE OLD WOODEN BOATS ARE WORTH A MINT TODAY. IT WOULD BE SO FUN TO OWN ONW.
