A photo of the Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" at Curtiss Field (adjacent to Roosevelt Field) on Long Island, after the replacement of the original nose cone. Standing from left to right are, B.F. Mahoney, Harry F. Guggenheim, Lindbergh, and Charles Lawrance. Mahoney was the owner of Ryan Airlines, the builders of the "Spirit of St. Louis." Guggenheim, a wealthy buinessman and philanthropist from the North Shore of Long Island, had just met Lindbergh. After Lindbergh's triumphant return to the US, he and Guggenheim would assist the work of another aviation pioneer, Robert F. Goddard. Lawrance was an aeronautical engineer who was instrumental in the development of the air-cooled radial engine. His own company, the Lawrance Aero Engine Company, was purchased by Wright Aeronautical in 1923. In 1925, Lawrance would become the president of Wright Aeronautical and lead the development of the Wright J-5 Whirlwind that powered the "Spirit of St. Louis."

BF Mahoney had already purchased Ryan Aircraft. BF kept the name of the company as Ryan Aircraft leading to some confusion. see link: www.charleslindbergh.com/plane/mahoney.asp

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Passover: why is this group different? why four cups? why matzo?, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I know I am getting back to you extremely late, but please feel free to add this photograph to your group.

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.
