PHOTO ALBUM

 

 

Hi,
 I was just editing a homemade movie for my parents and looking at all our family vacation movies. Found this snap shot. We took the SS America from New York in June and arrived 7 days later in Le Havre France for a 3 month European vacation.
 That's me, in the lower right holding the two flags. I just turned 50. My parents will love this movie. Lots of old footage. I needed some photos of the America and voila! I found your site. thanks much. Loved reading the letters of other people like myself.
 Hated seeing the pictures of the wreck. That will be left out of my movie.
Thanks again!
