Wonderful Memories

My mother-in-law and father-in-law were both born in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I purchased this book as a gift for his 80th birthday. They absolutely loved it. They took a wonderful trip down memory lane as they looked through page after page of postcards. They were shocked to see pictures of their old high school, church and other locations that were special to them as they grew up in this small mining town.
