USA Road Trip 1941


Two school teachers from Litchfield, Connecticut, travelled over 11,000 miles on a road trip to the West Coast in 1941.  Thanks to the memory book Charlotte created after their return home, we are able to revisit their trip some 70+ years later.



The newspaper misspelled Anne's last name.  That is, we believe
her travelling companion, Charlotte, probably knew the
correct spelling (as shown in her note
inside the front cover).










I'll bet even Charlotte and Anne would like to see
this kind of enlargement of their
small black and white
photos!



Continue with July 2 and 3

Thanks for stopping by John's Island.
