Trucker Kev The Paid Tourist Thanks:-) You've reminded me of the time I was in a meeting and did not have a pen or pencil. I said to the person next to me, "May I please borrow for pen for a second?" and he replied, "No. It's a Waterman." At the time I had no idea what that was all about:-)
Doreen Sherlaw Thank you, Doreen, it's my pleasure. Even though the project was finished in July of 2016, it didn't seem complete after finding the postcards at long last. I think that for most readers, the letters of interest were those related to the era in which they were born:-)
Ann Kennedy, happy you found them and happier that you posted them here. Always wonderful to see what your mom had to say. $45 a month for an apartment with a garage in New Haven...wonder what that is now in adjusted for inflation dollars? lol no need to figure it out, just commenting on the price, I know back then it wasn't as reasonable as it sounds to our 2018 ears. Oh, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike was once wonderful, now...not so much. ; )
Nice.. Waterman's ink✒️ ad cool with the others..neat the shape envelopes still in postmarked 1942 with minimal fade😎😎
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy Thanks for posting. I read some of the letters a few years ago which I found interesting especially as l was born during the war.
