We are pleased to present very interesting snapshot family photo album, 1920s through 1940s, including a number of USCG Pequot images as well as personal photos. They are all glued to the pages. The guys at IndicatorLoops site go to. The Missions: 1920s & 30s: Between the Wars did a nice job helping me with captions and details on the Pequot images.
