By the sea


It may not be warm enough to go swimming yet, but perhaps this photo will get you in the mood.
This shot of these lovely bathing beauties was submitted by Ellis W. Kriebel of Harleysville.
He writes:
“Every summer our family looked forward to a trip to Atlantic City from Kulpsville, to visit the beach.
“Here, in 1923, are my mother, Nettie Wohl Kriebel, holding my sister, Norma Lydia Kriebel Krauss. They are with Aunt Theresa Stoerlein (Nettie’s aunt), who lived near Absecon.
“Note that the proper attire included rubber caps. Wonder if it was a bit risque to have bare arms and open necks!
“I was born about five months later!”
So, really, Ellis is featured in this photo, too.

Theresa Stoerlein was my Grandmother or Oma as we called her. Thanks for posting this!
