The creek ran behind the houses on Valley Street, where Bonnie Mintz's family lived,
as did R. G. Watkins, his wife Muriel, and their children Diane
and Pete. From left is Diane Watkins, Mrs. Ott (R. G.'s mother-in-law
from New York), Bonnie Mintz (in cap), Pete Watkins and Ruby
Mintz, Bonnie's mother. Bonnie remembers they always sat in the
creek with their dresses on. If you look carefully in the
upper right, you'll see a #3 wash tub hanging on the side of
what appears to be an outhouse. Such a tub was used for doing
laundry and taking baths.
