Malibu Beach Home for Irene, Elliot and Michael (the beloved dog)
Another view of the Malibu Beach home being built.
Irene, already getting comfortable in new home..
Irene, posing, as Michael looks on..
Another view of Irene, I'm pretty sure Elliot was taking these photos..
.. Meeting some new neighbors perhaps..
Beach view, with Irene in new Malibu Home..
I would like to see what this home looks like today..
My mother remembers staying here for mini-vacations. Unfortunately, she recalls that she could never sleep well because the waves were so noisy. I love the sound of the ocean. Apparently Irene did too. She loved the beach and had always wanted a beach home.
Hope you enjoyed the photos.
Clicking on them will show you a larger view by the way.
Have a great day!
It’s been a while since I updated the site with news or photos. I have been busy with work and family projects. For now, I’m going to post a photo I scanned a while back. It’s a snapshot of Irene and friends, picnicking. Unfortunately, I do not know the location, but I have seen a few of these snapshots and know that Irene enjoyed the outdoor activities, hunting/shooting with friends such as Garry Cooper, Clark Gable and Ernest Hemingway. In this particular snapshot, you can see Gable tending to the fire while Irene and the girls get the food ready. My guess is Elliot (Gibbons) was person behind the camera.
.. Will post more soon.
Irene kept many little mementos.. This particular one is from a cruise. This scan is the front and back image of the beautiful menu from the evening of February 11th of 1931. Irene’s name (Irene Jones) is printed on the left side of the menu and the evening’s courses are on the right. Oh, and what a dinner this was!
- Malosso Caviare (Russian Caviar)
- Green Turtle Soup
- Brook Trout Meuniere
- Asparagus Hollandaise
- Roast Pheasant
- Mashed Apples
- Current Jelly
- Fruit, Cheese
- Demitasse
I researched info about the Bremen ocean liner and included this photo of the ship that I downloaded from it’s Wikipedia page. Coincidentally, the photo was taken January 1931, just weeks before Irene’s voyage on that very boat.

I want to share some wonderful old photos with you, of Irene and her brother (my grandfather) Kline. Then please see my message below about these and other photo scans.

I had some time today to spend scanning some of Irene’s personal photos and mementos. I really quite enjoyed the time, and before I knew it, hours had passed and I’d scanned some 60+ items. I am so grateful I had the time to do this today and am very excited about being able to share these items with you. I will post more often now that I have some done, and I hope you enjoy viewing them along with me.
