Dad’s Photos #3

For those who might have missed the first two installments (here & here), I’ve been posting photos from an album of my father’s that I inherited. He took most of the photos in the album, tho as you’ll see this time around, some snapshots are of him, & were taken by others.

In 1938 & apparently some in 1939, my father worked as a cook at a Howard Johnson’s in Bourne, Massachusetts. If you’re not familiar with that area, Bourne is on Cape Cod, not far from Buzzard’s Bay. This installment, & at least the one after, will focus on photographs taken on Cape Code in 1938 & 1939.

Hope you enjoy—the captions with the photos are my father’s, taken from the album. He titled the whole section: "Remember Bourne: The Summer of 1938 as a Screwball"
