I have posted here previously about a co-ed group of friends in 1921 who called themselves "The Crowd." [See the post of September 26, 2014 here at The Prism.] The Crowd enjoyed beach outings together and in May 1921 they spent time at Peases Point in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.
As the photograph above shows, there were six couples in The Crowd during one trip to Mattapoisett and among them was a couple that later married and became my maternal grandparents -- Ruth E. Cooke and Everett S. Carpenter. They are the second couple from the left in the photograph. Sadly, the other couples remain unidentified and thus unknown.
The couples photograph and the two shown below are among a collection of recently rediscovered family photographs and they depict the earliest idyllic days when my grandparents must have been falling in love. Seven years shy of a century later, they are a treasure to behold!
