This is my mother-in-law. The picture is a bit smaller than wallet sized and looks like a one-off print from a photo booth (although with the background in the image I don't think that this came from a photo booth). My guess is that this was taken sometime in the late 1930s or early 1940s. I found the print wedged between the back seats of our car. It had apparently slipped out and gone hiding while we moved her household several months ago.

Did she give this to my father-in-law as he served in the Pacific Theatre? Was it a treat given to one of her sisters? I may never know its origin but the message was as welcome today as it was when the photo was taken. View full size.
