Just Like Little Orphan Annie: 1937

My then-seven-year-old future mother poses on the roof of her apartment building (1027 44th St, Brooklyn NY) for one of her parents to take her picture. She lived in that same apartment from birth until she married my father in 1951.
What is most interesting about the childhood  pictures of my mother from this era is that she is always in the same dress. I am quite sure, unlike Little Orphan Annie, she had more than one dress to wear. But somehow the same one was chosen for every photo.
