Box 1

Box One. My mom's WWII Army stint. Serving as an Medical Corps Dietician, she was stationed at Percy Jones hospital (Michigan), New Guinea, then San Francisco. Her personnel file, orders, cook books, dietary needs for wounded soldiers, personal souvenirs and letters, notes, ticket stubs. Of general interest: the announcement of FDR's death in two SFO newspapers and the packing list she used for overseas.

With a couple of weeks set to be hot outside and relatively activity free, today, I'm embarking on a backward journey. These storage boxes are full of miscellaneous and arcane letters, papers, photos, books, and mementoes of my mother, dad and grandparents spanning 100 years.  I've hauled them back and forth through multiple cross country moves as I have journeyed the superhighways, country by ways, mountain trails and airways of my own life.  It's time to crack these puzzles and start a new path of discovery. Back. Stay posted!
