Spelling et cetera done as written on the postcards If a field is blank, the information does not appear on the post card. The messages appearing on the cards are not transcribed here, however are in this researcher’s possession. In addition to the postcards, are 3x2 ½ sized cards depicting various landmarks in Boston, Massachusetts with writing on the back describing what the writer saw. I’ve not been able to connect them to a name in the scrapbook yet. The cards are spread throughout the book, I’ve grouped the cards that have the same addressee, but have not put them in timeline order. Will send copies to those interested.

Thank you for the information on your parents. Haven't seen them since they were married & still lived in Duluth. Think all of us lost touch with them when they moved. I am writing up a book on family history of my Grandmother, Margaret Kreidler Murphy. I have a lot of past & present Kreidler info if you are interested. Will be happy to send a copy to you when I get it finished...hopefully soon. Am having trouble with my printer. Anyay, I am the oldest daughter of Mike & Don McCarthy. We used to spend a lot of summers up at the Stoneman cabin with all the Kreidler cousins there. I have a nephew, Jeff Baker, who lives in Seattle. My sister, Colleen & Larry, are out there every now & then. Jeff is buying a townhouse right now, so do not know exactly where he is/will be. I live NW of Minneapolis, have 3 grown children & 2 granddaughters & will mostly likely have 3 more grandchildren in the near future. Was up to Duluth this past June for one ! the Stoneman granddaughters graduation. Have seen Peggy's kids this summer also at grad parties. Would you happen to have a picture of you kids & your folks you could e-mail me so I can put it in the book? If I can do anything about family stuff for you, just let me know. Again, what a great surprise hearing from you. Teri Anderson
