Publisher: Glenna Rhine
Scrapbook and original poetry from the early 1940's. Why important? Glenna Rhine was a popular tearcher in the mid west and this scrap book is unique in that she composed and wrote a poem for each of almost eighty the pages scraps were so lovingly placed. This sentimentle and gentle memory book features dozens of norman Rockwell like pictures of a heartland warmth and strenght found in Middle America.
A war time scrapbook,though it's hard to tell. Yet there is nothing showing the fear of war. Just a wonderfully feminine prospective of galant men in uniform Air Navy ecetera. and the children emulating them. Mostly though it is a soft kin focus on the great things and simple pleasres of the day.
Th poetry is simple and sweet. One example of many;
Clouds
I saw my dream ship in the sky.
It vanished and I said aloud.
I found a thing that cannot die,
A memory made of drifting cloud.
And when I'm old and weak as straw,
And all my friends have gone thier way.
I'll call to mind white sails I saw,
When I was young one Summer day.
