Day at the beach

Continuing the archeological excavation of my father's slides, we find ourselves soaking wet, and in the company of a group which may include some of the youth group seen recently (https://www.shorpy.com/node/6042). Guess Dad's behind the camera, but that's his father, Steve, wearing the blue stripped tie. His mother, Elsie, is two to the right (green dress); her sister, Marcella Anna Peiser is in the dark blue dress. Between the two sisters is Aunt* Luna Depp (tentative identification); Her husband, Pete, is bottom left (dark trunks). Kodachrome, Kodak Retina, likely late '30s, vicinity of Newark, NJ, possibly Cherry Beach on the north shore of Long Island. View full size.
*actual relationship not determined.

Modern

It's interesting to see how little this photo has dated. I could have sworn I saw the guy with the blue tie walking down the street the other day.
I agree with Capaha, it's fun seeing a photo this old in color.

It Takes All Kinds

Quite an interesting array of clothing, from swimwear to business attire. Then there's the guy on the right who appears to be wearing nothing but a sweater.

Happy group

This looks like a fun bunch of people. The fact that the photo is in color makes it look modern.
