A postcard I purchased quite a few years ago at one of the Dublin City Bookfairs. I thought the woman resembled my mother. It disappeared for years, but today it unexpectedly reappeared. Hooray. I still think the presumably English woman resembles my mother.

In this photo taken in Lincolnshire in 1934, the woman in the center is my mother (but before she married and gave birth to me)

A better day – some sunshine. She was busy getting participants for various tournaments and talking with various people, including crew members. She played, and won, 2 rounds of the shuffleboard tournament. After Libby went to bed she had a “wild” time with one of the crew. ( Hmm – is this my mother at age 22?)
