This page has information on the “Daisy R” exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in San Francisco, opening Friday, February 6, 2015, This page is a work in progress.
This is an early picture of the “Daisy R.” Possibly taken on one of the first trips just after WWII. There is a little bump of head, perhaps, in front of Thelma, on the lee side. Could that be their youngest, Judy? Or perhaps their collie “Keokie,” (named for “George” in Hawaiian!)
George and friends rigging “Daisy R” on launching day, in San Pedro, California, September 13, 1931. He was only 19 years old!
George’s caption: “On board “Daisy R” at Little Geiger Cove [Catalina Island] winter, 1939-40. Diapers belong to Judy (held by Thelma) — 1st of six! Our collie “Keokie” blends into the cliff.”
The Geiger Family at Catalina Island, 1948 or 1949. Probably in Little Geiger Cove. Siblings (l to r) Judy, Richard, Susan, Martha, then George and Thelma. Sail bags on deck (probably wet!)
