Dear Friends,

Here is the next letter from Ann :

As always, for those that find it hard to read, here is what I think it says:

                      Gary Ind.

times to stay a while and see what

P.S. Please send me a few snap shots of your friends
             I mean pictures I'll send some too

It sounds like the job scene for her was not easy at that time.
I hope she was able to find something that lasted a long time.
I think when she wrote "threw" she meant "through". I hope I got the right spelling.
I wonder if they were ever able to meet up at any point.

Here is a picture from the scrap book. 1936:

 After reported engine trouble, at first denied by Nazi officials, the new German zeppelin Hindenburg proceeded up the Rhone valley toward Germany Friday after receiving radio permission to fly over France. The airship is shown over Recife, Pernambuco, at the start of its return maiden voyage, now drawing to a close.- A.P. wirephoto.

I wonder how many flights it had before it's final fateful trip when it burst into flames. The engine trouble was a kind of warning of what was to come.

Here are few pages from the joke book, "Bedtime Laughs". 1956

Enjoy.

Finally a random picture:

This might be one of the pictures Grandpa developed back in the early 1920's. No idea who the girls are. This picture is on the dark side. I did my best to lighten it up.

Well that's all I have to share with you today. I hope you have a very good weekend, mine will be short. I have to work on Saturday.
Don't forget to drop by again real soon for more Fading History.
Till then.
Your friend,
Sandy
