When George died, Klara supported herself and two children with her photography.

Moving to London in 1937 in the years just prior to World War II, they did not stay long. New York City too was a short stay. It was in Florida that they found their home when George was offered a building commission in Miami Beach in 1940.

Margaret Lefranc and Klara Farkas

Margaret returned to Santa Fe every July for six months, as the summers in Florida were too humid. Also, she couldn’t pull up roots in either place because it was too hard to make younger friends when Laura Gilpin, Annette Stevens Rada, Audrey Corwin Wright, Maria Martinez, and Lefranc’s Nambe Indian adopted grandmother, Leonidas, were all gone.
