Description

Black and white portrait of LaVerne (Caffee) Walrad as a young woman, seated on a beach, wearing a watch on her left wrist and a long sweater, holding a parasol over her head, with a hand resting on an open book or papers. She wears a ring on her finger. She is sitting on a blanket or towel that is checkered. There is a concrete wall the entire length of the background and a person and a vehicle on the other side of the wall; wall and lamppost are distinctive to the Promenade at Seaside, Oregon. It appears to be a sunny day given the shadows from the parasol.. People identified: Walrad, LaVerne (Caffee)
