Uncle Frank would mail me, when I was a child, fold out cards from all the places he traveled as a Civil Engineer. I thoroughly enjoyed receiving them and learned many interesting facts of the areas he loved and worked. I stayed with Aunt Joan in Puerto Rico when Uncle Frank was doing some work there.
