Cooling Off in Bethesda Fountain

Tommy First Grade Beau Brummel

After an exhaustive scholastic year in First Grade at St. Stephen's of Hungary I needed a good swim in Central Park. Dad had his Yashica 44 camera with him and caught Rory and me doing our thing in Bethesda Fountain.

Yesterday, The New York Times published photos from that one hundred degree August day in 1961. Here is a link to story with photographs.
