Bardsley Postcards From Our Past

Spring Mount Bridge
1913
My cousin Bonnie and I came flying down a hill,
on her bike, onto this bridge in the 60's,
Bonnie driving, me on the handle bars and crashed right in the middle.
Our summer's growing up in Spring MT were the best!
And I couldn't count how many times we went swimming in the Perkiomen

and me

Atlantic City abt 1951

I'll always remember trips to Atlantic City to visit Aunt Florie, she lived in a small ground level apartment near the boardwalk. My favorite memory was of her Murphy bed in the small bedroom. I was always afraid if closed up with you in it, you would disappear forever.

quote text

"To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root."

~Chinese proverb~

„To co weszł‚o w zwyczaj niech zwyczajem zostanie, a to, co było, coś›my od ojców zasłyszeli, lub sami jeszcze widzieli, przekażmy tym, co po nas przyjdą pomni, że gdzie była przeszł‚ość, tam i przyszł‚ość‡ bę™dzie…” – Leon Potocki 1854 r.
"What has become a habit let it remain a habit, and this, what was, what we heard from our fathers, or we have seen already by ourselves, pass to those who will come after us; remembering that where the past was, there, also, the future will be..." – Leon Potocki 1854.
