My Grandmother kept a lot of photos, documents, negatives and mementos, which my Dad passed onto me. Many of the postcards have handwriting on the back. Please contact me here, if you have any additional information or if you would like to use this content. Please don’t copy this material but rather put a link back to my Blog. You can see more of her mementos here.
