Norm Wolfe with his three daughters at the Hillcrest fireplace — c. 1960
Norman “Norm” Graham Wolfe seated at the brick fireplace of 108 Hillcrest Drive in Marietta, with all three of his daughters across their full age range. Cast confirmed by Chuck Eesley June 2026. Betty is presumably behind the camera.
The cast
- Left, standing in dark velvet skirt and white blouse: Victoria Ann Wolfe, the eldest daughter, late teens to early twenties.
- Center, seated in dark suit and tie with the baby on his lap: Norm himself, then in his mid-thirties.
- On Norm’s lap, infant in white: Peggy Sue Wolfe, the youngest daughter, an infant in this frame.
- Right, standing in dark plaid pleated jumper with white Peter Pan collar and Mary Janes: Norma Jean Wolfe, the middle daughter, ten to thirteen years old.
What this frame records
The Hillcrest household at the moment all three daughters were still at home together, with the youngest just arrived. The spread of ages — eldest a young woman already, middle a pre-teen, youngest a baby on her father’s lap — captures the wide-spaced three-daughter shape of the Wolfe household. The brick fireplace, the wood paneling above the mantel, the patterned rug, and the floral upholstered armchair are recognisable from the c. 1980s–90s bookshelf living room group and the 2011 Thanksgiving photograph of the same room — fifty years of the same fireplace, the same paneling, the same family.
