Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are looking at old glasses - not just any glasses, special glasses made by Dr Yee. I know this because the glasses case has his name on it and also the name of the place he worked and on the glasses (just where the nose goes) it says 'USA' - and that stands for United States of America and he probably lived in the United States of America in Maui, Hawaii. I got the glasses at an old lady's shop. I bought them because they looked quite interesting. The glasses reminded me of a character in The Wind in the Willows - it was Moley! And they were only $5.00. So, I got all this information (below these words I am writing), from my Mum. My mum got them from some newspaper she found on the internet. "Announcement: Dr. A. Y. Yee, optometrist and manufacturing optician is at the Grand Hotel, Wailuku, in the interests of his Maui clientele. If you wish your eyes examined kindly call at the hotel or phone Wailuku 80 for an appointment. Eyes examined and glasses fitted. From the Semi-Weekly Maui News 'For the Valley Isle first', Tuesday March 28, 1922.

Until next time
