These pictures are labeled through the perspective of Brud (me). Thus Sara and Laura are siblings, Priscilla and Nancy are cousins, and the adults are parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Uncle Ralph was my father's uncle (my Grandfather Brown's brother), so I called him Uncle Ralph too.

Brownhaven, in Cushing, Maine, was the cottage of Grandmother and Grandfather Brown. Perriwinkle Point, on Maple Juice Cove in Cushing, was the cottage of Aunt Ruth and Uncle Gar, Priscilla and Nancy. View Point, also on Maple Juice Cove, was the cottage of Mom (Lucy) and Dad (Freeman) and Sara, Laura, and Brud.

My Brown grandparents were born in Connecticut and moved to Maine where they raised their family- Freeman Fletcher Brown, Jr. and Gardner Lane Brown.  My parents moved to Connecticut where they raised Sara, Laura and me. Every summer we vacationed in Maine where we played with our cousins and visited our grandparents. Before my mother built our family's cottage (View Point) we stayed variously at Brownhaven and my Grandfather French's house in Rockland, Maine. My Grandmother French died when I was too young to remember much about her.
