Beginning on November 1, which is the date of my mother’s first letter from her Hawaii trip 84 years ago, I am serializing day by day, the book, Cecilia King’s Extraordinary Senior Trip, which you can obtain from Amazon in either Kindle or paperback.

I hope you enjoy the upcoming nine-months in Hawaii 1940-41. You can order the entire book from Amazon in either paperback or Kindle format, click here.

Cecilia to parents from Honolulu, Monday, February 3, 1941

Seems like I’ll never get this letter off – but one second thought disregard the slacks – it’s dresses I need a little more dressy than my beige shirtwaist, something I can wear with my rust suede pumps, but not as fussy as the jersey suit or pink crepe, and as usual, I’m broke. Sad. Aunt Susan just called me in & offered another proposition so I’ll send it for comment in a letter to be mailed 3¢ style tomorrow.
