A mystery album of 1930s photos discovered in a Northern Virginia basement connected two D.C.-region families.
Mary Beth Cox came into the possession of two photo albums that belonged to Adm. Richard G. Colbert that highlighted his years at the U.S. Naval Academy in the mid-1930s along with family photos and a portion of his career. The massive cabinets of Wedgwood wedding china that no one wants. The boxes of clothing and bins of memories. Clearing it out is a liberating process for some. Sad for many.
Her husband, Tom, has his beloved tomato plants potted and ready to replant on his son’s acreage. He’s wistful about the move. A little apprehensive to be without the sprawling yard, the workshop, a daily mission. So Cox figured someone must’ve brought the albums to her at the shop decades ago, and she didn’t know what to do with them. So into a box they went.She got in touch with me with the one clue she had, a name on the album cover — Richard G. Colbert.
“We’d hop out on the boat and go to Capri for a swim,” she remembered. “I know I’ll never have a lifestyle like that again.”We spent an afternoon trying to figure out who was in the photos and where and when they were taken.
