I went to our local department store to shop for luggage. I wanted to look stylish when I arrived, so after careful consideration I bought a full set of red Lady Baltimore luggage. For me, at the time, it was very expensive.<br />Here we are 37 years later. I have lived in California all this time, and one of the Lady Baltimore suitcases that my kids took possesion of has traveled everywhere. It is covered with travel stickers, and is lovingly referred to as "The Red Suitcase." People stop us in airports to ask the story behind it. The suitcase is such a part of our family history, that if we were to have a fire, we would grab the suitcase empty or full. My grandaughter loves it so much that I just bought her a set on ebay so that she can start her own adventures. First stop for her, Paris. My how times have changed.<br /><br />~Donna LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14725530.post-51151105145205571022007-11-05T19:21:00.000-05:002007-11-05T19:21:00.000-05:00This is the truth: when I graduated high school in...This is the truth: when I graduated high school in 1968, my gift was a set of Lady Baltimore blue luggage, exactly like you bought. I remember vividly picking it out with my Mother. Of course it is long gone. Hope you find your momentos to store your stuff in.<BR/><BR/>~Susan CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
