Postwar Buffalo

For a couple of years after their June 1948 wedding, Gene and Clara toughed it out, with Gene staying in a cheap dorm (they had those then) in NYC, and Clara living at home with her parents, sister, and Tom. She worked the books at a nearby hardware store.

This looks like coming home from church some morning.  Who is stumping up the driveway behind her?


Why, it's Tom in short pants.  Love it.  Who is the older boy coming along next?


Apparently this was a favorite family picnic spot.  What is Adam Matynka holding in his hand?


A camera body?


Clara as Sylvan Nymph, complete with Sylvan Nymph tablecloth.





That's quite the rootin' tooter on Tom's shirt.


Is this Genevieve?

Is this Genevieve and is she holding a movie camera?



Clara Matynka, CHM, as Goddess on a Stump.  Note the goddess's chariot yon in the dappled glade.  What manner of chariot is that?
