Hamming It Up
1930 band hamming it up on ship
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).
