Trilby, Alva, Penney and Zuber celebrate Jazz Day!
The Wilson’s moved from Ohio to Florida for health reasons. The Willard Wilson’s health improved and he bought an existing diner and turned it into The Marvel Diner. The spot was on Forrest Avenue, which was U.S. 1 at the time. They had chosen a very busy location,as U.S. 1, especially in the 1940s, was one of the major roads bringing tourists and others through Florida.
Wilson’s son tells that he would go to school and return after to nap in a cardboard box under the lunch counter.
This photo is from the ‘2002 Memory Book – Central Florida Mosquito Beaters’.
I can’t find where this book might be avaible for purchase.

Here’s the Esther Williams swimming pool that once was part of Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven. The postcard scene if from the Esther Williams film ‘Easy to Love’, also starring Van Johnson and Tony Martin.
The postcard was mailed June 17th, 1961 to Miss Harriet Jane Zimmerman in Wheeling, West Virginia. This was mailed from Washington, just not sure if it is D.C. or the state. The postmark is “Wash & Graf”. Don’t know what that means. Please post below if you know what that means or with any memories of the Florida Pool at Cypress Gardens.

As you may see in the caption, catfish are aplenty in the Ocklawaha River, though far fewer fish those waters these days. It’s also unlikely, these days, that catfish are as populous as the days of the gentleman sbove.
The year of the publication of this book is not noted in the book itself. That’s not unusual of the publisher, Great Outdoors. It is unfortunate to not be able to have it pegged. If someone knows or can better figure it, plases note in comments or send a message.

Trilby needs to be reminded that prime rib needs to be cooked before eating it.
Might I recommend a trip to Tropical Acres Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale for a great prime rib!

Holopaw, the squirrel, is a bit upset that Alva, the mouse, might’ve been wrong about eating a pretzel from the inside outside. They both hope to be untangled shortly.
