(I have followed all the Postcard Friendship Friday posts previously, but my first time joining in on PFF :o)
I'd rather be playing in the creek than starting school at 7:30. Certainly a lot of correspondence on a small card.
ReplyDeleteMiss Stuart was very proper. I was curious about the Oregon State Normal School, so I looked it up. It is now Western Oregon University! In 1911 they had 138 students, so it must have grown very fast by the time she wrote this card. Great card, thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI was intrigued and looked up Oregon State Normal School and find that it's now Western Oregon University. I wonder if Miss Stewart was training to be a teacher? I love these glimpses into lives so long ago.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Happy PFF
