Jamie and Alison Cunningham often posed together for "Uncle Charlie". On this day in 1942, they were visiting Otto Frieday's goats. Macnamara noted that, "this pose was a little too affectionate for Jamie."

The Cunningham family travelled from Toronto each summer to live at Marshall's Bay. Alison wrote an article for The Macnamara Field Naturalist Club in which she recalled, "The last time she was with Uncle Charlie was on the Labour Day weekend in 1944. He wanted to take a group photograph of my family, and we all lined up on the porch, my father, Frank Cunningham, myself, Judith, Jamie and my mother, Jean. My memory of that time was of my great-uncle's profound quietness and inner strength."

Charles Macnamara died in December 1944 at the age of 74.
