Memorial Day 2012 Update:
Where is the time going? I think only one person, Jacob Wathen, has joined the military since our last update, Ooh Rah Jacob, congratulations for graduating from basic training, boy don't we all wish we could go through that again! I have added him to the bottom of this page. John Butler just returned from another tour in Korea, and now him and Lesa and their daughter are stationed in Germany, the home of Oktoberfest, for three years and loving it!
Here is an interesting thing, there are elementary school children looking at our families military history! Mrs. Carter, an elementary school teacher at, Union Elementary School, in Shallotte, NC, has a link on her AIG class page to our 'A Salute to our Military'. She uses the page as a tool for her students to learn about our veterans. She chose a picture of my dad as the link to our page.

This festival brings together all of our favorite past-times, we love to travel and our favorite mode is by train, we just love the old stations, and my wife loves postcards. She likes to jump off the train at stops and run into the station to mail postcards and snap a picture of the station while shes in there, yes, we have had some close calls. In Sacramento once, I had the conductor....Read more...

The theme of Postcardy's August Scavenger Hunt is "My Funniest Postcards", this one was the funniest one I found in our collection, Postcardy's are much funnier.

I guess to a youngun' like me, it seems "funny" that my elders could be risque.This postcard was written to my Great Aunt Iva Pringle Howell in 1950? (the postmark is hard to read)
In 1950 she would have been 55 years old and had been married to her childhood "Sweetie Pie" for 32 years. I wonder who sent this, I think a girl friend.

Me and my wife,Lei, both enjoy postcards, so when I saw a new blog carnival, Evelyn Theriault's A Festival of Postcards, I figured that would be an easy one to write a post for. It has been a little more difficult than that, when I saw this editions theme, "Water" and the rules: it’s time to get out those postcards depicting bodies of water, boats, bridges, fish – or anything that contains liquid! And please feel free to interpret the theme as liberally as you wish. I thought I had it - but when I found the postcard ....

When I was a little girl, one of my favorite "special" things to do was play with my mom's jewelry. I would get to sit up on my parents bed and go through her jewelry box. As I put on each piece, I would go show my mom how beautiful I looked. She had a story for each one, where dad got it, how he gave it to her, what she liked about it. I think I enjoyed hearing those stories as much as I did wearing the jewelry. The jewelry box, and most of the jewelry is from Japan. Some of the pieces came from Siam and India. I remember thinking the box was just the most beautiful and special thing I had ever seen. It was black and red lacquer painted in the typical Japanese scenes. After you opened the lid, there were two compartments that you lifted and slid to each side, doing that opened a larger area that had more gems inside! It played a dainty Oriental tune. I would keep winding it up so it would play over and over, I would pretend I was in some exotic foreign land and that I was a princess admiring all her jewels. I can't remember when my mom gave me the box, and unfortunately it was lost in a move or ultimately in our fire. I found this picture online, similar to the one my mother had.
Dad was in the Navy. He was a flight engineer on the "Super Connie", a plane in the 'Airborne Early Warning Wing of the Pacific', during

One of my passions is remembering and honoring those who have sacrificed so much, so that we can enjoy freedom. An article caught my eye yesterday morning, so I thought I'd share it. From the BBC News, "Henry Allingham, the world's oldest man and one of the last surviving World War I servicemen,

My Great Aunt Iva was born in 1895, Iva Fern Brown, to William Brown and Ella Pringle, either in Michigan or Ontario. She married George Henry Howell in Genesee Co., Michigan in 1917. I may have met her but I don't remember it, I just remember my Grandmother's many fond stories. I have ended up with her box of memorabilia and pictures.

1915 Birthday?

Approx 1915 Clio or Davidson, Genesee County, Michigan area? Who are the kids?
The Lady holding the horse on the left is Ella Pringle Dutcher, the second child on the horse from the left with the big bow in her hair is My Grandmother, Daisy Dutcher, born 1908(appro. 7 yrs old). I think that the girl next to her with the horse that is shaking his head is her sister Vivian, born 1905. The other kids are unknown.
Again, aside from Daisy and Vivian Dutcher I don't know who these kids are. The one boy on the left is interesting, he looks like he is in a fancy riding outfit. The Dutchers are very poor farmers, I can't believe that they have rented these horses for a a kids birthday party, but that is sure what it looks like. Also this is circa 1915, all these kids have grown up with horses, it doesn't seem like a pony ride would be that big of a deal to them? My grandmother always talked about how much she loved horses, but, that was about 60 years after this picture was taken and probably 50 years after she last had a horse.

This is a picture of my father George (Gus) Gustafson, the sailor. He looks pretty young so my guess is that it was taken between 1942-45. It looks like he was at a USO club maybe. I have no idea where though. He was stateside for most of the war as a Aviation Machinist's Mate - Instructor. His duty stations were: Dearborn, Michigan, Dec '42 - Apr '43; Norman, Oklahoma, Apr '43 - Feb '45 and San Diego, CA, Feb '45 - May '45. He then was aboard the USS Savo Island (CVE78) from May '45 - Dec '45. He received a "Pacific Theatre" medal, so I assume that is where the ship was at the end of the war. Sadly my father passed away when I was 18, so although I remember him talking about his war years I don't really remember specifics. I am trying to do a military time-line with pictures, as a remembrance of my dad's service.
To me the picture looks like all the USO publicity photos of the war years. Does anyone recognize anyone in the picture? Please click on the written by line, if you're a member, to contact me with any information and/or ideas of how I could find out who the other people in the picture are and/or where and when it was taken.
