Postcard From Mom & Dad...8-10-90


This is the front side of the postcard postmarked 8-10-90 that Mom & Dad sent me from Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts while visiting my sister JoAnn and Brother-in-law Gene Grant & family.
I found this postcard while thumbing thru some old books of mine that were in a box. At the time the postcard was sent to me I was working on the island of Kauai in Hawaii as a finish carpenter. I probably used the postcard as a bookmark and today I opened the book to read the card again some 18 years later.

Caroline Matilda was born in Virginia in about 1726 and that is as far as I can trace my ancestors on the Simmons' tree.
