The Photo of the Week this week is a very nice and peaceful scene on an old colorized
post card titled "Picturesque Scene, Balboa, Canal
Zone". I really liked this old post card the first time I saw
it and had to make the purchase. This photo was probably taken in
the early days of the town of Balboa. We have four children and a
West Indian maid. Not sure why the photographer took this photo
while the maid was bending over and doing something with the
infant. It would have been nice if all those in the photo were
facing the camera. But, life was simple back then as it appears in
this photo. Many times I wish I could go back during these early
days in the Canal Zone. Life was good.
