Twin dolls, twin girls, twin chairs!

Darling sisters Katherine (1919 - 2018) and Elizabeth (1919 - 2015) Goodwin must have brought such pleasure to their parents and families. They grew up and attended school together, remaining close for their entire lives - see their biographies for photos of them over the years.

We remember Katherine and Elizabeth. United again in the smiles they bring to our faces.

Dorothy Day
A photo of Dorothy Day and Elizabeth Nourse Goodwin. Found this among my grandmother's (right) belongings. Noted Dorothy Day at the top and August 1938 at the bottom. Grandmother lived in Sacramento and Chico, California and she (and her identical twin) was born in 1919. Maybe somebody out there knows who Dorothy Day is....?

Does anybody know who Dorothy Day (left) is?

Are you sure that this is a Job's Daughter photo? They wear white dresses but not usually a bouquet and a veil. It looks more like a wedding photo?
