Hamming It Up
In 1930, after his sophomore year at Penn State University, my grandfather travelled to Europe. In order to pay for his trip, he worked as a musician in the ship band. They apparently had a very enjoyable trip across the pond. Grandpa played the trumbone (second man on left).
He returned to the United States, arriving in the port of New York on 6 September 1930, on board the S.S. Transylvania sailing from Glasgow.
