Bermuda, somewhere in Eastern Canada, & somewhere in the Carribean. Memory not very good, I was 13 at the time. There was very little independent tourist business during the early 40s. Don't know how much they are used, they don't much make the news. Irv -- I do not have signature authority. I am not authorized to sign anything.
