Family portrait

This picture was taken in about 1956. I like how happy we looked.

Greenbelt

I spent most of my elementary years in Greenbelt, MD, the first planned community in the U.S., built during the Roosevelt years for military families. It was a great place to grow up--everything within walking distance, very little traffic but public transportation, several community events every year, and lots of kids to play with. This picture shows a station wagon and two public buses in the central area. There are hundreds more pictures in the Library of Congress archives.
