Postcards

Pompeii, The Civil Forum

These postcards date from the late 1950's when my father was stationed in Denmark.  

Danish Bathing Machines

This postcard is from Denmark.  My parents lived in Copenhagen in the late 1950's.  As a kid I loved this postcard.  Mom told me that the horses pulled these machines into the water while people were inside changing into their swimsuits.  Then you were able to get directly into the water.  It was more discreet I guess,  I don't know why my brother's name is written on the card.  Maybe he was the one who wanted to buy it in the first place,

I came across this clipping this morning.  I think it's from an old Alumni Record from the University of Georgia.  I was most interested in the man on the right.  He is identified as a son of Dr. Crawford W. Long.  Dr. Long was born in Danielsville, Georgia and is credited with the first use of ether as an anesthesia during an operation.

This clipping is from sometime between 1911 and 1917.  I haven't been able to find much about the Banker's League yet. My grandmother's brother, Paul Bartlett, is sitting second from the left on the top row.  He played ball at the Univeristy of Georgia and graduated in 1911.
