Separation

Hello Dear Reader,
Grandma (Mary Hall) Carter went to Nevada in the summer of 1940 to stay with her sister, Myrl. Grandpa (Wesley) Carter took her to the train depot in Salt Lake to see her off on her six-week trip. I haven’t found any information about what the two of them did while they were apart. I know that Mary was very close to her sister and spent time with her on more than one occasion.

Wes, meanwhile, was probably saving any money that he would have spent on dates, gas, or such. He went back to Salt Lake City to pick her up when she returned. He said her train arrived early in the morning. She had probably traveled most of the night.
Love,
Aunt Genni
