A tall smartphone screenshot shows a social-media comment thread with profile pictures, comment text, reaction icons, a status bar, and navigation controls. The comments discuss identifying people and recognizing scalloped woodwork and a bar in an unseen photograph.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Roland....per our phone conversation last night....look at the scalloped woodwork on the back bar.....it is the Beachcomber.
Mary.....I think Ma Perkins worked at the Beachcomber in the early/mid 60's so Edna's father Erwin would have been older or gone by then I think.

Aunt Skip says the guy on the far right next to Bub Burke is Joe MaFro. And thought the guy on the left of Bub might be Mike Cull.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The catalogue record identifies this as a photograph posted to a public Facebook group by Suzanne Jule on January 12, 2026. The record's machine-generated description reproduces text from the visible comment thread and identifies several commenters and people discussed there.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The underlying photograph discussed in the comments is not visible; the lowest line of interface text is partly obscured.

Rights and credit

Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution to the poster and a link to the original post.

Credit this to Individual posters, credited per image when you use it.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
