Notable Summer and Year Round People - Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Thorp

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Thorp. He was a member of the Boston Bar and a true sportsman. In college he had been a member of the celebrated Harvard Baseball team, which made a notable record in games played against professional Nine's. He was a fine tennis player and in a national gold tournament was beaten only on the last green by MacDonald who won the championship. Mrs. Thorp was a daughter of the poet Longfellow and one of the most delightful and charming of women. She was a graduate of Newnham College, Oxford, and was the "laughing Allegra" in "The Children's Hour". Their home was on Greening's Island, but this picture was taken on Mrs. Pepper's piazza.
