In the late 30's, rural young people went to Minneapolis to work and to get away from the farm, the same as now. My mother Linda Janson did too. She graduated from Drew's Business College in St Cloud about 1936, went to the big city and got a job with the
Buzza Card Company in the "Stenographers Pool". Man, it's not a fancy space--the walls look temporary, and what an odd bunch of desks....but it was war time, and they were
only the steno pool:
There's mom, second desk from the corner window. She wrote on the back of the framed picture "1939, Buzza Co Steno", but the calendar on the wall says 1941...lol
Mom worked in Mpls till her own mom became seriously ill in late 1944. Margaret (Naber) Janson died in April of 1945, and mom met dad in December that same year.
They were married 28 September 1946...awww!
