While tidying up and checking on my Czech Babi’s (Grandmother’s) steamer trunk that I am taking care of for my mother, I found a nice cache old letters.
This trunk made the trip back and forth from New York to Czechoslovakia a few times between the 1920s and 1960s…
When my mother was about 5 years old my grandparents took her back to Czechoslovakia for a visit – and they somehow enticed Babi to take a photo in a ship’s lifeboat.
At least one of the trips was on the Queen Mary – we have several of these postcards from the ship in our albums.
As with any photos on this blog, you can clickety-click on any the images for a larger view.
