197 Eighth Avenue
20th street and 8th avenue (probably northwest corner) Manhattan. Amy Peck (me), 2 years old on shoulders of her father, John B. Peck, near where they lived, probably taken by my mother. Starve a rat day, an event on 21st Street Chelsea, on the block I lived on from 1966 or 1967 until 1979. I am in the background wearing the same plaid pants as in photo titled 20th street, which is Amy Peck 7 years old and her sister Sally Peck 5 years old. I think my father liked the advertisements.
