This is my attempt at a 1954 Post card recreation
Jacob Tome School for Boys (Bainbridge USNTC)
Built:1900
Opened:1902
Closed:1990
I got this post card when my friend from Tunisia made a presentation
about his country. This is really cool ;) On the card, there is a word
which looks French. I didn't think there is a big building similar to
Roman buildings. The texture of these buildings is rough because these
buildings are made from stone and sand. They look really old due to
the color and the pattern of them. And it makes them much more
beautiful. According to this picture, Tunisia is surrounded by only
desert and sand, but he said that this country has a beautiful modern
city, trees, beaches, and ocean in his presentation. It made me
surprised. I thought that I had to get rid of our stereotypes of
Africa including Tunisia. In the picture on the right down, some
tourists looking down a big square-shaped hole on the floor. This may
be a meeting place held by a leader who conquered this area before
because a lot of chairs can be seen inside of the building.

This is a scanned photo from the Rathbun (sometimes mistakenly written as Rathburn) collection. My Great Grandmother Flora's sister Margaret "Mattie" Dunning married George Rathbun in 1885 and had 3 children: Emmett, Margaret and Stanley.
I don't have much information on this branch of the family, but thought they looked like an interesting bunch.
I welcome any observations or comments.
Hainan (China), May 2010
"Amidst wars and pestilence,
surrounded by her poor children and grandchildren,
Merry Old China quietly sips her tea and smiles on,
and in her smile I see her real strenght."

this is my photographic rendition of what I think a post card from a tour would have looked like way back when.
