Velma Moree Pierce Barnhart (1913-1993), left, poses with her mother Julia Lavinia Moody (1886-1965) somewhere along the Gulf Coast. Although the location is not identified, it is probably on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The bridge in background may have been one of the old bridges to Dauphin Island. The bridges to the island have been replaced several times.
The Mobile County area offered many sorts of outdoor recreation. Fishing, boating, swimming, water skiing, or just island tourist watching were within easy reach. Velma, who lived in Chicago with her husband Charles, was probably taking her parents on a day trip to the island while visiting from Chicago.
