postcards, part 3
This next batch of postcards belonged to my grandmother, Helen Byers. They are from the years she spent in the Navy in the 1940s, which I profiled last year in a Veteran's Day tribute to her. I love to imagine her life then, traveling and seeing things so different from what she saw growing up in the midwest. Rarely a day goes by without me thinking of her or being reminded of her in some way. Her spirit is very much a part of who I am.

fantastic set
Thanks. I think it is really sweet that she glued them into an album or scrapbook of some kind originally, maybe a book of memories from her Navy years.
