Dear George,
My dad, Vic L., was an excellent amateur photographer. Thanks to my brother Peter, who restored many of Vic’s photographs from the late 1930’s through the early 1950’s and beyond in the form of postcards, we’ve enjoyed a treasure trove of images from our childhood family history. The majority are of family members, friends, and our home on the river, but a number are also of various sights in our home town of Menominee, Michigan, and her sister city, Marinette, Wisconsin. Here are some of my favorites.
Happy Thanksgiving to All,
Dave
