Lost - please find!

One of my favorite hobbies is to go into antique stores and look for old family photographs that I might be able to reconnect with family members. Over the years, I've had some wonderful experiences doing this. In the last year, I've been twice to visit our son while he's been stationed at MCAS New River in Jacksonville, North Carolina. It's adjacent to Camp LeJeune. The next block over from his lodgings is one of the biggest antique stores I've ever been to, filled with "booths" full of new stuff, old stuff, junk and treasures. My favorite spot was the end table with the clear glass top and sides filled with old letters, post cards and a few photographs. After buying a few affordable ones, I brought them home and tried some of my favorite sites to find descendants who might be interested in the items. Well, I haven't so far, so I thought I'd share them here and tag them in hopes that someone searching for them might find them. They are a variety of correspondence, from postcards, graduation invitations, V-mail and love letters. The names and places are: Aileen Armstong, Oakland IA, L.J. McDermott, Winterport ME, C.E. Sanborn, Boston, Jones Baker, Taneytown MD, John M. Fuss, Emmitsburg MD, H.E. Schmidt, Pearl Harbor, Raymond M Baker, NYC, Jane Sawyer, Louisville KY, Garnett Divine, Mary Lou Wathen, Hillsdale MI, Charles Pearson, Alice Campbell, Finleyville PA, Russell Campbell, Craig Melville, Meadville PA, Glenn W.
