Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

Teens in uniforms

"D" Co. '34  What is this?  My mother's album, I think.  She graduated Thomas Jefferson Highschool in '34, I think.  San Antonio, Texas.  That's where she met my father.  If he's on that field, I sure don't know.  He didn't ever serve in uniform, I do know.

Here's my mother, Mataley, on the left. 

Did they write letters to soldiers later when they went to war?  Perhaps.

I personally had 2 soldier pen-pals.  One served in the Air Force in Korea in the 50s.  And the other was in the Coast Guard on isolated duty in the Aleutians of Alaska for a year, and then I married him when he returned to civilization.  Sorry, no pictures remain.  But I did enjoy our correspondences.
