I love this photo. The man in the middle is my great grandfather, Logan Louis Thompson. He and his friends are day drinking in Miami in 1925, so it was the height of Prohibition.
He’s on the left, here.
Left to right: Sterrett Pooser and Margaret Basquill, Nell Basquill and Logan Louis Thompson.
Margaret was my great grandma Nell’s sister, and Sterrett was Margaret’s husband. I feel like they all knew how to have fun.

I absolutely adore that photo of Margaret.
All of these came from scrapbooks Margaret and Nell kept. The last time I visited my grandma Jeanne, before she died, I scanned all Nell and Margaret’s old photo albums, and then I sat down at the kitchen table with grandma and went through them with her. I wish I’d asked more questions and taken better notes, but I’m grateful I was able to record what I did.
