Apparently in the summer of 1971, we traveled to Philadelphia to see Marcy\u2019s mother, Ethel. I have very vague memories of a visit to Grandma-in-Philadelphia as a kid, but I think that must have been another visit a few years later; I was only three years old on this trip.<\/p>\r\n

I assume this was the first time that Ethel met us kids. History does not record what she thought of us, nor we of her.<\/p>\r\n

Anyway, apparently we drove across the country, maybe visiting George and Helen in Tacoma first. During that week-or-so-long drive, we wrote a few postcards. Below is the first; I\u2019ll also post the second one this week, and then the rest of them next week.<\/p>\r\n

On the back of the postcard is printed \u201cPalmer Lake & Chopaka Mountain. North Central Washington State is the setting for this hunting and fishing paradise.\u201d \u201cC-796\u201d \u201cEktachrome by Chet Swain.\u201d \u201cPublished by Ellis Post Card Co., Arlington, Washington\u201d \u201c108964\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Hi, wish you could be here, even tho it ain\u2019t Missoula yet. All\u2019s well, (tho we forgot the cheese.) We\u2019re past Ephrata (& George & Martha) on the way to Grand Coulee Dam, not far off the original road. Stopped at Ginko petrified forest\u2014magnificent polished rocks & Indian petroglyphs. Insurance all set, but the man said the place we applied previously might<\/u> have cashed the check we gave \u2019em even though we didn\u2019t complete the application. So they\u2019ll return our $ w\/their own check. if they did, the check we wrote you might<\/u> bounce\u2014we\u2019ll clear it as soon as possible x<\/strike> but warn you just in case. Probably<\/u> a false alarm, anyway.<\/p>\r\n

love & many thanks.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
