It was November 1956, according to a notation on the photo. A family outing somewhere in Hawaii.
That’s my sister, Bonnie, and me, taking a break. Location unknown, unless for some reason she has a specific recollection.
I was 8 and Bonnie was 12. I’m carvrying my Scout’s canteen with the funky canvas case. It probably yielded nice, warm water, not the refreshing, cool drink you really wanted.
I’ll show Bonnie the photo when we visit the hospital later this morning and see if she can add anything.

Cool canteen.
Let us know where this was taken! My guess since you grew up in Kahala is KokoHead behind the fire station. But lots of places looked like this back then. The good old days.
You’re supposed to wet down the canvas to cool the water via evaporation. Or so my scout master told me.
