Mrs. Albert Quentmeyer and Two Foster Children
Image
Mrs. Albert (Nima) Quentmeyer took in two young girls from a broken home after raising six sons, who have since grown up. Some of her sons are serving in the Armed Forces. During war time, she decided that caring for children would be a good way to make a contribution to her country. She is shown in a group portrait with her two young "daughters."
