Mailed from Modesto, California to Mrs. Charles Palmer of Huntington, West Virginia on June 18, 1959:
Thursday - Hi! Still on my way, and having a wonderful time. We expect to arrive home on Sunday, June 20 - Very happy we got together, and enjoyed our visit tremendously - Would love to hear from you after you get moved & have A.L. all settled. Send me your new address - good luck - Fondly - Isabel.
I did a post on this place (I'm from Modesto) a few years back. I was able to stand where the original photographer stood to get the 'now' shot. Here is the link:
