The Big Day
My aunt had dreamed of attending medical school in Sweden, after she finished nursing school in the early 1930's. She worked as a nurse, saving her money to sail from the USA to Sweden. She and her friend are leaning over the ship railing looking at the water, or possibly some sea life. Their smiles are big, so they were enjoying the view.
