Thank you to: Cynthia Garrison - Brittain for these
great photos and story. |

These 3 pictures are of my sister,
Kathleen Garrison-Chamales and her childhood pal Timmy Emmonds.
These pictures were taken on the boardwalk in the summer of 1952.
They were both 2 years old at the time.
They were both 2 years old at the
time. I hope you can use these on your site. Asbury Park was a
unique and special place for those of us who had the opportunity
to spend time there. I often describe the ceiling of the Mayfair
Theater to those who never experienced this magical place. I
would spend half of any given movie with my neck bent, eyes
staring at those passing clouds. As a matter of fact, my
Grandmother took me to see, "The Sound of Music", at
the Mayfair. The windows at Steinbach's was a favorite tradition
for my sisters and me at Christmas. The three of us would love
to see this wonderful city restored to her former glory. I have
yet to find a place that offered as much as Asbury Park did in
those days.

I had previously
written to tell you about my Grandmother's win in the 1904 or
1905 Asbury Park Baby Parade. I have scanned the photo and
another of my Grandmother which looks like it was also taken on
the same day. My Grandmother was Margaret Coleman Cleveland -
O'Hagen - Lepska. She was born on March 17, 1902 in Asbury Park.
Her mother ran a boarding house in A.P. for many years and Nanny
would entertain us with funny stories of her time spent as
a beach rat in those early years of the 20th century.
