At the Rappahannock

This fuzzy, undated image must be from 1953 or 1954 and was taken at the Rappahannock River at Wildwood, near Bowlers Wharf, where my parents rented a cottage from friends each summer. At the left with his son, Billy, is my brother-in-law, Bill Warren. Next to him is my sister Dorothy with their daughter, Mary. I am bending over, digging in the sand, at the far right. The boy in the center was from the neighboring farm. He knew all there was to know about life on the Rapahhannock, and his parents supplied us with fresh milk from their cows and fresh corn, tomatoes and a host of other vegetables from their farm.
