June 1941. "Daughter of Frank Robbins, United Aircraft employee who lives in trailer with his wife and four children because of the housing shortage. East Hartford, Connecticut." Medium format acetate negative by Marion Post Wolcott. View full size.
Found her on the 1940 Census for Barnstable, Massachusetts.
The daughter of Frank Robbins and I are the same age or close.

Maybe, even a little tomboy. Either way she is a daughter to be proud of.
