Past Post: Our Jewell, Mount Rainier 1941
December 30th, 2007 @ 12:42 am by Cliffe | Sorted Past Post
With the holidays wrapping up, I thought this vintage postcard was fitting. “Jewell” sent Maude Schneider this post-holiday card of Mount Rainier in January 1941 complete with curious spelling and punctuation. Did Jewell and Maude ever have that lunch and/or dance? I wonder. Click on the postcard for larger images.
Jan, 10, 1941 — Aberdeen, Wash.

Is that typed? If only that had spellcheck for typewriters back in the day.
