Vintage photographs from the 1930s and beyond from the family of Victor Faria Soares, Sr. and Rose Raymond Soares of Somerset, Mass., my grandparents. These were digitized by my uncle, Arthur Faria Soares, who also provided me with many stories about my family and his experiences growing up. The children of Rose and Victor Sr. were: Victor Jr., Beatrice, Raymond (my father), and Arthur.
Our summer travels continue...today we have my mémère, Rose Raymond Soares, with her daughter, Beatrice, and Bea's best friend, Connie Quental. They are at the Franklin Park Zoo in the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston, circa 1944. Mémère, who had a wonderful sense of humor, is striking a pseudo-serious pose. I love the way she is always wearing a hat and carrying a small purse when in public. I also like the ankle socks on the girls and Connie's quintessential saddle shoes.
