WHILE BETTY WAS HERE THIS WEEK, WE WENT THROUGH OLD PHOTOS AND CAME UP WITH THESE, AND MORE, OF OUR GREAT UNCLE EM'S TRIP TO EUROPE IN 1927. WHILE HE WAS ALIVE, HE OFTEN TOLD US ABOUT IT. THE SUITCASE HE USED IS STILL IN THE FAMILY, SO WE TRIED TO CHOOSE SOME APPROPRIATE PHOTOS TO GO WITH IT. THAT SAID, I BEG YOU TO WRITE ON THE BACK OF ALL YOUR PHOTOS, OR LABEL THOSE YOU HAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER. THERE WERE MANY THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE WHO THEY WERE, OR WHERE THEY WERE TAKEN.

| THIS ONE ONLY HAD ONE WORD ON THE BACK, "BAGGAGE" THAT SEEMED APPROPRIATE TO GO WITH A SUITCASE.. |
 |
WHILE HE WAS THERE, HE VISITED SWITZERLAND, AND THE FAMILY HOME OF HIS DAD, OUR GREAT GRANDFATHER.
NOT SURE WHO THE MAN IN THE PICTURE IS.
|
 |
| THIS ONE MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY UNCLE EM., HE'S NOT IN THE PICTURE SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME THESE ARE HIS TRAVEL BUDDIES ON THIS TRAIN. THE BACK OF THE PHOTO SAID,"ALL ABOARD FOR PARIS." |
 |
HERE HE IS, ON THE LEFT, WITH HIS AUNT FREDA AND AUNT BERTHA,WHO STILL LIVED IN SWITZERLAND.
ARE THESE PHOTOS PRICELESS OR WHAT!
I ALMOST FEEL LIKE I'M THERE WITH HIM.

I learned things about our family from all Pat's historian work. These photos along with a picture of the ship Uncle Em took to Europe and the passenger list will be tucked inside that piece of luggage that accompanied him on his treasured trip.
