So far 163 folks took a gander and no one posted the answer to the first three.

While you are thinking, here are three of mine Circa 1977 all G.T. I Would like to know who the three little girls are. Oh that's Brendal with yours truly.
Sorry about quality of those old photos.

Village Inn which is now Harbours Edge,
Hope Town Lodge pool bar (way before Gary)
Wallyball (after an earlier owner named Wally) used to be played in the pool at the Conch Inn.

island daze, yea actually before my time! :) I didn't show up until 83!

I'm sure that my sister went to school with those girls! Its just hard to see facial features. The blonde looks like Heather Davies..Wally's daughter.( UCF Bahamian you're not old enough to remember those girls at that age..good eye!!)

[abacopotcake]

A call to my sister in Louisiana and some saving and resizing and our guess is...
Rose McIntosh, Heather Davies, Maxcine McIntosh (now deceased) and Linda Davis.
We're pretty sure about Maxcine because her nieces look exactly like her!! Maxcine's parents (Alphonso & Betty) owned the Seaview Restaurant, the first on GTC.
Thats our guess..not 100% on Rose and Linda!

I remember Maxcine well when she ran the Sea View We'd often go there with our kids. Even have a pict of her (below 1988). I remember brothers Trent and Maxwell. Believe it or now - back then there was even a story about the Sea View in the NY Times which I sent to her framed and which proudly hung up. I Knew she married a customs man and moved to Nassau before she got sick - so sad.

abacopotcake, I think it helped that heathers sisters are my age and look just like her :)I might have guessed Chelsea but then I saw it was taken in 77!

Wallyball (water volleyball) was played every afternoon at the Conch Inn back then. Wally went on to open Wally's Restaurant just down the road. I don't know whether the sign is still there but as I recall the pool was built just for the game with two shallow ends and a deep middle where the net was strung. Anybody know?

[abacopotcake]

My younger sister says we're wrong about girl on the left. She says its Charlene Reckley! I give up!
