“The Photo Box” update: was doing some historical research online for my memoir when I stumbled upon this postcard from my maternal grandparents motel in Gillette, Wyoming. They, Bessie and Ralph Holmes, owned this motel and another down the street called Apache Corners (Apache, for sure, Corners may be incorrect) in the 1940s till the mid sixties. Always a treat to visit because we got to stay in one of the rooms, which seemed so sophisticated to my seven year old self. Anyhoo, spent $4 for the postcard and consider it money well spent. Love the internet!

  Love you too! Yes, a wonderful find and so random. Who would have kept a pristine postcard of this place and from this time? I’m glad they did! ❤️
