A traditional outdoor retreat
Pint-sized skippers blow their sailboats along a 20-ft. course in the wading pool of a Children's Aid Society Center, July 30, 1952. Six-year-old James De Crescenze, second from right, won the annual "Bathtub Regatta" by a blow. He was named "Coxswain of the Year (Peanut Class)." Left to Right : John Giovanetti, aged nine; Carl Cunningham, six ; James De Crescenze, and Paul Rogina, six.
