It follows that before there was a “Big Three,” there must have been a “Big Two.” Here is a rare photo of that “Two” level of bigness, evidently taken in fall 1937.

And here is a photo of the Big Three that was probably taken around shortly after Christmas 1938.

This photo is very similar to one from this earlier post, except in the above, the children are in pajamas and in the one below from the earlier post, they are dressed up. Nevertheless, it appears the photos were taken around the same time. From hints like Kathryn’s apparent age and the length of Clara’s hair, the above photo appears to have been taken a month or two after the one below.

So adorable of Donna & Clara …especially in the middle picture. I remember that “Indian blanket”. Think it was used until it was in shreds!
Thank you, Lloyd, for your research!
