Please note that this card was published by the Brush and Needle Studio, Ogunquit, Maine.

I worked in the Brush and Needle in the summer of 1957. I was the live-in cook for the 2 ladies who owned and ran the studio. They were like grandmothers to me. It was a wonderful summer until my maternal grandfather passed away in early August. However, it was comforting to have family nearby.

Note the date this postcard was written – 1953

The postmark is Kampala Uganda and the stamps are from the time when the 3 East African countries formed a postal union. A time long before Independence.
