"This is a picture of me in the parlor. I don't drink anymore"The mystery of this photo: was it taken before or after he stopped drinking?

This photo makes me wish I went to summer camp... in 1945. More Camp Pontiac photos here. They were a mischievous bunch.

These are two Christmas cards from U.S.S. President Polk (a submarine) to Eileen Pierson in California. Both were sent using V-Mail during World War II . I did a quick search to learn more about V-mail and found that...
V-mail was originally based on the British "Airgraph", and was an unusual and ingenious system for delivering mail from United States troops to home addresses during World War II. V-mail correspondence worked by photographing large amounts of censored mail reduced to thumb-nail size onto reels of microfilm, which weighed much less than the original would have. The film reels were shipped to the US, sent to prescribed destinations for developing at a receiving station near the recipient, and printed out on lightweight photo paper. These facsimiles of these letter-sheets were reproduced about one-quarter the original size and the miniature mail was delivered to the addressee.

I'd like to start out by revisiting some of my favorite slides from a large group of travel slides I purchased at an auction. The slides came with a bunch of snapshots, two 8mm films, and Pan Am memorabilia. The couple in the photos traveled all over the world, and I guessed that the woman might be a Pan Am Stewardess. Some of the slides were even in a Pan Am envelope. It's also possible that the husband was a pilot. One of the 8mm films had footage from inside the cockpit of a plane. Or maybe they were just rich and liked to fly Pan Am. View more of the slides here.

I have just started this blog. It is but a wee little fellow (or lady). In the coming days it will grow to be a respectable sized blog, and some day it may even become an adult. Hopefully I will get to watch this little blog live a long and fulfilling life.
Hope you'll join me.
