Kufta Collection: Bathing Beach, Black Resort at Idlewild, Michigan, c 1940 (neg. C-3713)

While googling the word, "Idlewild, Michigan" I found a 1940's photo of a beach full of brothers and sisters having a great time. Does know this beach? Or the photographer? Is that a brother in a letterman's sweater on the beach - what was he thinking???

The site that host the photo states that the image is part of the Kufta Collection. Any info and thought, click the "Comments" link below and have at it.

See http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17449---,00.html for more info

Thx,

James
