Past Post: Mount Baker Park Boat Club
August 29th, 2007 @ 12:54 am by Cliffe | Sorted Past Post
It’s vintage postcard time! Hey hey, no groaning — because today I thought we could all bask in the thought of these hot august days as they’ll be gone soon enough. With that said, today we have two slightly different looks at the Mount Baker Park Boat Club. And I do mean slight. The first postcard is from February 1917 and the second is probably from around that same time. First card reads:
1517 21st Ave So, Seattle, Wash.
Dear Sister & family; I think we are settled for a little while now so I am sending you our address. Hope you are all well. Bernard & Agnes are doing fine now. Ben is working steady. Bernard asks “what’s Uncle Frank doing.” Laura

I love Vintage Postcard Time! Bernard and Agnes, by the way, were fine after an “incident” with a merman.

Shipley, I think we need to get back “to our roots” as far as naming children.
