Willie & Eileen
Photos 1920’s

Thank you Christopher Le Bas!! For providing us scanned images of the photos in Eileen Frend/Benitz’s albums. Many photos are not labelled Please HELP!

(Canadians, please note!) – Santa Fé enjoys a temperate climate in the Southern Hemisphere! Where Winter weather is May through August (frosts but no snow at La California - & it is typically warm in the sun out of the wind) and Summer weather is mid-November through mid-March. Polo is played in the cooler months. A school year is from mid-March to end of November, with a 2 week winter break in July.
