The Girls in the Boat
This is the companion piece to yesterday's offering- two young ladies thought by me to be the sisters of the man in the boat, "Dixie." With both postcards addressed to a Miss Carrie Hoffman in Fairchild, and "Little Carrie" admitting to having attended the "Soo" picnic, I theorized that a relative of these women was an employee of the Soo Line. And indeed, a simple Google search DID turn up a T. Hoffman who was documented as a conductor on the Soo Line. Was he the man in the boat yesterday? Or was he, like the girls, a relative of the employee? Or is this all just a coincidence? Sometimes history just provides clues with few definitive answers.
I know the Hoffman name. Maybe their relatives would know.
