Winnie & Ed Willson-Ocean Park, California 1918

Peg's grandparents (mother's side) Winnie & Egerton 'Ed' Willson building sandcastles on the beach in 1918 at the close of WWI (note the Victory symbols on their bathing suits). This picture was taken just south of Santa Monica with the long gone Ocean Park Pier in the background. Winnie & Ed had been married 7 years and it would be 5 more before Peg's mother Barbara was born. Ed & Winnie died in 1943, 4 weeks apart, he at Thanksgiving, she at Christmas.
