This postcard was dated July 2, 1932 and sent to his mom from his mom's cousin, Charles. Some 12 years later, Louie would be stationed there. |
Sunday, May 14, 1944 Front Page. Uncle Louie probably read this. |
Another front page I believe from June 1944. |
Probably similar what Uncle Louie saw when visiting the college. |
Older picture of the college, but shows the proximity from the campus to the capital. |
Well sounds like he is liking Madison and back in his Midwestern roots! Too bad he has not gotten a pass yet to visit, but hopefully soon. Not sure about the tests that he was not interested, but passed. I believe this is where he was going to school for radio.
Thanks so much for including the post cards and especially the newspaper article from right around that time!! I like the Maypole Dance postcard, very neat that it was a big deal and people are watching and things. Sad that he couldn't see his family, he's always missing them :(
ReplyDeleteI agree, but at least he is closer to home!
