Day 13:
This is from a large stack of newspaper clippings, all bundled inside an old newspaper sack. When I was looking through photos in Lake Charles last week, I found two pristine 4x5 negatives of this picture. Isn't it interesting how things connect like that?
Anyways, I can remember you and Gramma talking about the PEO when I was in high school. You would never tell me what it was, but you would drop lots of intriguing hints. It was really annoying. :)
My mom was a huge fan of William Steig, and I grew up surrounded by more of this type of book than regular childrens books. For those I had to go over to my grandmother's house. The books I found in my box are the kind of books I remember spending hours examining in minute detail.
The green one I remember especially, not because of the anti-technology moral of the thing but mainly because of the art! Incredibly graphic and detailed line work throughout every page. Here are just a couple to give you the idea.
Can you tell what the last one is depicting? It is the island of Manhattan, before they decided to take down all the buildings and let it go back to being nature. Fabulous.
Sorry to be annoying. I hate to keep secrets, but this is one that my mother kept from me up until I joined, and I'd hate myself if I spilled any beans. I never continued after joining, and I kind of regret not having that sisterhood thing that my mom had.
