It's 1944, with the summer off before starting a teaching career. What better way for a girl and her best friend to spend the summer than riding from Buffalo to New Orleans (and back) on bicycles?

I am in Buffalo and know the Roys of Lancaster, NY--related, I wonder?

I grew up in Cheektowaga, near Union & Genesee. Went to Maryvale HS.

Too late for me to read it tonight, but I've bookmarked it. Thanks, Doohickie!

I like the way this guy is doing that heart sign, but in the wrong place.

I've just skimmed through this so far, but it's FASCINATING. I love all the old photos, esp. from New Orleans. Excellent find, Doohickie!
