Traveling In Grandma's Day

Patty Baker was born in 1941 in Alaska. Growing up in a military family meant lots of travel. Because of World War II, they were evacuated to the lower 48. To get to her father's relatives in Texas she went by boat, train, and car. When her family was stationed in Turkey she went by plane. At that time, very few people flew. It took over three days to get from New York City to Turkey. I particulary found the information about flying to be the most interesting. Its changed so much. "In Grandma's Day " series is a great way to look back at history on a personal level.
