The Adults in the pool picture are (L-R); my brother Alfred II (Nick), Olear (Haslerig) Jones (my neice), and at the top of the ladder, her brother George Haslerig Jr. The two children in front of Olear most likely are her twin sons, Michael (now deceased-a story in itself) and Wendell, born in November 1956. They look to be 2 - 3 yrs old in the picture which would date the time as the summer of 1959 (or maybe 1960). Olear also has a daughter (alberta, aka Kitten) born in 1958, but I doubt she is in the picture. Shawn can maybe identify Nicks children in the picture, but my guess is that his son Nicky III is walking up behind George (Baby Brother), John (Marty) is standing in front of Nick, and Shawn is in front of George. The two girls may very well be Georges's daughters. Chattanooga had only one park with a swimming pool to accommodate all of the blacks in the city. There was also a facility within a state park (Booker T. Washington State Park) that had a swimming/boating
