Treasure Hunting has been absolutely enthralling … it’s fascinating how far we’ve come; the mere click of a mouse and a few keystrokes can access information almost instantly.
Through the power of the internet I have discovered many hidden secrets and have “met” many helpful people along the way. Email, forums and blogs have been instrumental in gathering information.
My treasure hunt has led me to a fabulous find, something not of my own – but lovely all the same.
Through recollection, both my Uncle Tom and Aunt Cath remembered their dad (Stanley) explaining having to work part-time after the stock market crash; in order to pay tuition for himself and his brother to remain in school.
“Minneapolis Club” and “Millionaire’s Club” were a few of the names tossed around… we’re unsure of which club he was employed with, nonetheless a posh club was indeed his place of employment.
Apparently, he used to do his homework on the bus, work an eight hour shift at the club, return home and then return back to school the next day.
After googling, “Minneapolis Club” I discovered the most beautiful building; ivy covered, leaded glass windows, a stone archway with rot iron fencing around the perimeter of the building… *gasp*.
