Beginning on November 1, 2024, 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,

One of my E-FORUM subscribers asked me, “What happened to Cecilia? She hasn’t written since June 8.”

For reasons unknown, there was either a hiatus in letters from Cecilia from June 8, 1941 to June 26, 1941, or the letters were lost.

I am happy to report that she was busy as ever. Although there were no letters, her appointment book survived, and I am happy to extract the following:
