A view across the Grand Canyon from the rim, with a gnarled tree trunk and green foliage framing the foreground. The canyon's layered red and purple walls recede into haze, and the caption names the scene "Grand Canyon of Arizona" and "In the Ole Southwest." By the 1950s the canyon was a national park and a standard stop on automobile tours through the Southwest.

get out there again do you want

always needing gifts. Glad
for your card. I hope the boys
grades would be all right.
