My husbands grandfather from England was a resident on Park Avenue around 1910/15. We have pictures of him on Pablo beach mounted in a card saying Two Bit Club. I wonder if anyone else knows about this beach club? I would love to know more.

What does the handwriting above the picture say?  How can you tell the picture was taken at Pablo beach?
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

The writing above the picture gives the names of those pictured; Bernice Culver and Henry Snuggs who was president of the club. We know its Pablo beach as its printed, rather than written on the back of the card. It seems most likely the date was closer to 1918. Thanks for enquiring.

Every bit of info helps... this site has a pretty wide following with plenty of people interested in local history.  If you do not get a reply right away... keep checking... often things turn up at a later date...
