My mother’s diary, a trip to Europe – June-July 1934
Ile-de-France = a French postcard
In 1950 my 2 sisters sailed on the Ile-de-France from New York for a 2 month trip to Europe. What a wonderful way to start their trip.

not the picture I Was looking for – but isn’t he a splendid Newfoundlander

A postcard of the Central Post Office, Bombay India
This card was posted from Port Said to Belfast Ireland – must have been before 1920


I said postcards could stir memories of long ago. This card is from a dear friend I had when I was a student at Berkeley in the turbulent ’60’s. A friend who went back to when I was growing up in Belmont Mass. In Berkeley she was like a grandmother to me. A lively grandmother with whom I had lunch occasionally on the terrace. From Berkeley I went to Kenya to do the research work for my PhD thesis. What a surprise to receive this postcard from my lively grandmother traveling the world. I think she must have been in her 80’s – as I am now.
