Those were the days: The Soares clan, with friends & neighbors


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.


The summer theme continues...Today I am posting two pictures, because they go together. Here are my mémère and pépère, Rose and Victor Soares, and their daughter, Beatrice, at Horseneck Beach circa 1948. Not sure what's going on with those hats.



Mémère has conked out, and pépère is headed in the same direction. Meanwhile, their friend, Mary Perry, is trying to read the newspaper.
