Meet Marjorie Casper
Meet Marjorie Casper.
I do not know Marjorie Casper. I never knew her or anyone in her family. Here is what I know of Marjorie:
1. She was born in 1922.
2. She graduated High School in Breckenridge, Minnesota in 1940.
3. She worked at AIResearch during WWII presumably building planes/bombers
4. She had a boyfriend named Dayd.
5. She lived in Minnesota, California, and Oregon.
One day, in the summer of 2006, my wife and I were antique store shopping in the Eastmoreland section of Portland and we stumbled upon a scrapbook.
The scrapbook was made by Marjorie Casper between 1938-1944. Marjorie saved all sorts of ridiculous things.
This scrapbook is falling apart and I am trying to put it back together. I figured, while I was putting it back together I would feature all of the neat things within.
Over the next little while I will be sharing with you some of the great ephemera inside the scrapbook. I may not post stuff every day but I will post things as I see fit! I hope you enjoy this stuff as much as I do!
