The back of the postcard says, "Doubleday Field. Cooperstown, NY. Annual baseball Hall of Fame game in progress. Sell-out crowd of nearly 10,000 fans watches. Game is attended by Hall of Fame members and baseball dignitaries. Ektachrome by Peter L. Hollis."
Ektachrome. I love it.
The note reads:
Dear Rose,
Hope Angelo is O.K. We are having a wonderful time here. My birthday yesterday + son Bob took us out to eat in beautiful restaurant overlooking Lake Schuyler - had prime ribs of beef but NO CAKE OR SUGAR. Will call you when we return.
Love,
Bobbie Daly
This postcard was mailed, 35 years ago, with an 8 cent stamp. I wonder how many of these people (Rose, Angelo, Bob, Bobbie, the crowd in the photo) are still living. I seem to be a bit obsessed with thoughts like that, lately.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be fun to contact you. We were very close friends with Rose, Angelo and their son Ronnie. Unfortunately, they have all since passed away. They were from Teaneck.
They were a great family, full of love. We are assuming that the book you found was probably thier son Ronnie's as he was an avid reader.
Thanks for posting this. It was fun to find and to see. We miss then all dearly. We do not know about who the Bobbie and Bob are. They may have been a relative or close friend.
Kind regards,
