Lunch

[Researcher]

I loved sardines and King Oscar Kippered Snacks when I was in my youth. Hadn't had any for years, but recently got back into them.

In 1927 my mother and several of her classmates took a road trip from Mound, Minnesota to Monterey, California, and spent the season working in one of the Sardine canneries earning money for their senior year high school tuition. In those days anything past 8th grade cost money. My mother second in the picture --

The waterfront in Monterey looks a lot different today!!

Dave;

Cool picture of your mom. They certainly had hairstyles from the roaring 20's. Is she second from the bottom? Could you imagine young girls doing that today?

Yes. She is second from the bottom. The one in back was my father's cousin Edna who was also my mother's best friend. Back in those times a cross-country road trip wasn't hitting the Interstate and setting your cruise control! I wish I'd have paid more attention to the stories but from the photo album there was three carloads of workers and my grandmother went along and cooked and kept house for them. I know from the photo album they came or went via Yellowstone National Park.
