This is my Dad, aged 3, on vacation in Rockaway Beach, 1936. It was either my grandmother or grandfather who inscribed the popular hit song of 1936, "I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin'" on the photo, as well as "The Lido Mascot" - Lido was the name of the family hotel in the Rockaways.

Dad is dressed rather warmly for the Miami climate, which suggests it was indeed wintertime, and perhaps even chilly, even for these native New Yorkers. View full size.
