This postcard (above and below) was sent by Marjorie Tangen Whitlock to her sister Bernadine Tangen Weber in April of 1951.  Her concern for how her sister was feeling was because Bernadine and Bob had had a son in August of 1948 who had passed away two days later.  Bernadine was again pregnant -- this time with me!  It was touch and go there for awhile as she thought she had miscarried, but here I am.  Mom always thought I might have been a twin.  Will find out in heaven!
