This is the second postcard that Marcy sent to G&H while we were en route from Tacoma to Philadelphia.<\/p>\r\n

The reason Missoula is relevant is that George and Helen lived there when they met (I think\u2014certainly their families lived there at the time). George grew up there, and his grandfather was a prominent citizen; Hartman Street in Missoula is named after one or more of George\u2019s ancestors.<\/p>\r\n

One mysterious thing about this series of postcards: Apparently we were traveling with someone named Laurel. I have no idea who Laurel was, and they\u2019re never mentioned again after these postcards. Whoever they were, they seem to have written one of the other postcards; more on that next week.<\/p>\r\n

Well, there we were in Missoula, for about 10 minutes. Broad streets, very open. \/\/\/ Please enjoy the Shampoo & creme rinse we left. Will try to find a ride for the rest of the stuff we left. But hope you can send that heavy white sweater to my mother\u2019s house when you get a chance. All\u2019s well. Love, PMJJ&L<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote><\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
