Peter at military school in Santa Monica


Ethel's son Peter (Leo junior)
The caption reads "5ft 10 1/2. - 16. & 4 mths"
Text on the back reads
"Petesie isn't as stern looking as this - he was joking - I said about face or something and he struck this pose - Besides it was early in the A.M. & he was on Sunday duty as officer of the day - not so nice & the Santa Monica Beach is only 3 miles from the school - He is in line for captaincy is now lieutenant - school in rear"
Based on Google searches for military schools in the Santa Monica area, I am guessing he attended Ramsey Military School.
He was born c. 1912 so this photo must date from around 1928.
