Maize Hutton: My Mom's Trip To Europe June 1959

My Mom, Banff Canada Railway Station

June 1959

I convinced my mom to give me her slides from a trip she took to Europe in 1959. I wanted to scan them so I could make a book for her.

Mom lived in Billings Montana and in order to get to Europe, she had to drive to Banff to get on a train and then ride a train to Montreal. There, she got on a ship and was off to Europe. I can only imagine how excited she was!

It's going to take me some time to scan all of the slides but I thought I'd share some of them with you once in a while. She has a great photographer's eye and took all of the pictures with an Argus 35mm she bought from her brother.

I hope you enjoy seeing what it was like back in 1959 like I do.
