September 1940. "Quicksand School, Breathitt County, Kentucky. Many parents and young people from the school and nearby communities attend the pie and box supper, given by the school to raise money for repairs and supplies.

Medium format acetate negative by Marion Post Wolcott for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
What a beautiful couple and a beautiful photograph. I hope they lived a great life.
