Here it is the second day of 2022, and the first Sunday of the New Year. I am bit sluggish so bear with me, while I prod myself to get things up and running.

For those who have the 2022 Private Reserve Calendar, you are no doubt familiar with the above photograph. There is not a lot to indicate when it was taken. My hunch is December 1937, which would be the beginning of one of the wettest winters on record. What intrigues me, it is a postcard that I bought on Ebay last spring. In all my years of research, I had never seen this image before. So I bought it. There were red crayon marks, and I was not delighted. Two days later, another one appeared on Ebay, and it was in much better condition. So that is my story.
