This is not the greatest scan but I love this picture of my grandmother, Mary Teresa Mayne (Fallon after marriage) in 1939. She was going to work at the Times Picayune in New Orleans. She was the secretary of the editor-in-chief or the publisher (I forget the title of her boss). Anyway, my grandfather was her boss' godson and that is how they met. View full size.

Probably United Fruit

Infrogmation - Probably so. My grandfather, her husband-to-be at the time, worked for United Fruit. His grandfather had sold his company to United Fruit. I have attached photographic proof.

New Orleans Central Business District

Nice photo.

I'm trying to place the location. I think I walked by that same doorway many times when I worked in the New Orleans Central Business District 40 years later. The United Fruit Company building on St. Charles Avenue down from Poydras?
