Response to Bridgeport, Connecticut Postcard Diaspora Mailing

 I received a (swift) reply to this entry, as follows:


Hope she tracks down some interesting information. At least she might get to know a neighbor better.

[Ten minutes after posting the above, I heard back again from my new correspondent, who is clearly a good detective and doing fast work.]
She writes:
So I found some information about Miss. Weed , 
She was a Elementary school teacher , born around 1894, she was single , lived by her self. I found one of her neighbor name , I emailed her maybe she’ll get back to me.

Postcard Diaspora: Framingham Center, Massachusetts 1957

 



Postcard mailed from Long Beach, California, to Framingham Center, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, March 27, 1957. Message: All the 'stars' have homes here at Palm Springs and some of them are fabulous. We are in a darling motel, San Lorenzo, built all around a pool. Each 'studio room' has a bath and kitchenette and we got our own breakfast. The foliage and flowers are everywhere in abundance. We sure hate to leave this spot. 82° today. We should have come out here when you were West. Much love to all, Peg and Dad. I'll mail this to the Framingham address today.

Postcard Diaspora: Bridgeport, Connecticut 1941

 



Postcard mailed from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Monday, February 24, 1941. Message, addressed to a Miss Weed: Here I am. Had a very pleasant trip and riding companion. Isabelle and two friends met me with a car. Sat in the yard and ate a tangerine, surrounded by nasturtiums, crotons, ferns, etc. Walked along the bay and ate at a busy place. Now to the shuffle boards. Love, Maude. I'll mail this to the Bridgeport address tomorrow.
