| BILL MOYER'S SCRAPBOOK |
| These photos were taken by Bill's father and
uncles, really great photos of the early, old day in Aruba. |
|
How Bill came to have the following photographs
from his uncle and aunt is
rather interesting. Bill writes:
"Some years ago a cousin of mine visited Caplinger
Mills, MO, where his mother and dad spent their childhood.
"The postmaster asked him; "Aren't you related to Ula
Moyer?" When he said yes, she pulled a package from the dead
letter file and gave it to him. Ula Moyer was dead but there were
two photo albums of hers in the package and my cousin sent me one of
them."
"So, this is mostly Claud & Ula Moyer's stuff from
roughly 1929 to 1947, in Aruba. |
| THE FIRST PHOTO IS TAKEN ON THE TANKER GOING TO
ARUBA, CLICK ON PHOTO TO SEE WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE BACK. |
 |
| THE NEXT PHOTO IS OF THE HURRICANE IN ARUBA IN
1932 |
 |
| LADIES FROM LAGO OUT FOR THE DAY, AND A DRINK.
SECOND FROM LEFT IS BILL'S AUNT, MRS. ULA MOYER. |
 |
| THIS IS A PHOTO THAT BILL'S UNCLE SENT TO HIS
WIFE. HE HAD MARKED THE PHOTO BUT I REMOVED THE MARKS. HE
POINTED OUT WITH THE MARKS THAT THE LARGE BUILDING IN THE CENTER WAS THE
DINNING HALL, THE HOUSE TO THE LEFT WOULD BE THE TYPE OF HOUSE THEY
WOULD LIVE IN WHEN SHE CAME TO ARUBA. HE ALSO MARKED THE HANDBALL
COURT, LOWER LEFT AND THE OCEAN IN THE BACKGROUND. I WONDER WHAT
HER THOUGHTS WERE WHEN SHE SAW THE PHOTO. |
 |
| ON THE BACK OF THIS PHOTO IT SAID, "OUTDOOR 10 PIN
BOWLING". I GUESS YOU HAD TO MAKE YOUR OWN ENTERTAINMENT, NOT THE
WOMEN LOOKING ON IN THE BACKGROUND. |
