In the 1940s

Ron Miller of Seattle, WA

Long after my mom passed away, I found this old Kodachrome 35mm slide in some of her stuff and scanned it. It was probably taken somewhere back east on a trip in the '40s.

Ed. Note: Thanks for sharing, Ron! We'd been saving this one for a second edition of vintage photos, but after ye olde editor spent the weekend scanning old photos with his own mom, well — it was impossible hold this one in reserve any longer.
