People enjoy their time at "chicken bone" beach, Atlantic city, NJ in the 1950s. This was a segregated beach.

My parents met at Fort Dix. Mom.had a summer job at the Officers club. That was the beach a mixed race couple could go to - even in the late 60's in South Jersey.
Thank you for this. Missing them both today. All the hopes of those two *kids* for their family destroyed in two months. You brought a smile to me face - pictures.
