Budd Lake NJ: 1948

My Dad sitting on one of his sister-in-law’s laps.  I’m  7, in the striped shirt and well used to his antics.   Another sister in law looks at the camera (held by my mother I assume)

On a rare visit to Budd Lake NJ to his parents and family at their summer cottage.  Dad was the only one of 4 who moved away from the NY area to Chicago and it was difficult for my Mom to get him to go back to visit.   I remember this wonderful yard and we could walk down the street to the lake.
