Another Bain/LOC photo of Leo Stevens:

I added Stevens to Wikipedia last time and Atwood just today: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Leo_Stevens en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Nelson_Atwood

I believe this photo was taken at old Los Angeles International Airport . . . with Hangar #1 and the old tower in the background. It was called Mines Field, back then. Great photo.

It tells a story - well captured

There's a mention of "Miss Jean Potter and Miss Charlotte Potter" being "on the beach" at Southampton in summer 1922 (apparently visiting for the festivities surrounding a tennis tournament): chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1922-07-07/ed-... "Jean and Charlotte Potter" took part in a 1922 circus-themed fair at Agawam Park, to benefit Southampton Hospital (they helped run the roasted peanuts and popcorn concession). query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00D16FF385D1A7A9... The two Potter girls are also listed among the young women selling programs for a performance at the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton that year (New York Tribune, 3 September 1922). I think they're the daughters of banker William Chapman Potter and Caroline Morton Potter, who were divorcing in 1922 (which might account for the girls' busy social calendar that year). Reports about the divorce mention they have two daughters, 17 and 19. Mrs. Potter was residing in Paris at the time. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30A15FB355A1B7A9... They had a half-sister, Diana Guggenheim (1924-1991), aka Diane Hamilton: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Hamilton Jean Potter married artist Frederick Soldwedel; they divorced in 1930. Then she married Lt. Edmund C. Stout; she was widowed in 1943 when he died from an accidental gunshot wound in their home in Florida. Charlotte Potter married Reginald M. Lewis in 1926, and divorced him in 1930; then she married a man named Atwood, as his second wife, c1932.

Two young ladies. Beautiful.
