The Wayside Inn, South Sudbury, Massachusetts, May 15, 1986

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 1

Notes from the collector: Where my future wife and mother-in-law dined while travelling on a Matson Ship. I am not sure if I mentioned Matson owned the major four properties on Waikiki before selling them to Sheraton.
