Perhaps they were on vacation in Long Island or had a vacation house there? They had other siblings so not sure why it would only be addressed to them? They did have a sister named Wilhelmina Gensirz Ringer, Family Search ID LKQ9-5G8 so this is possible who they were referring to as Gerrie?) Postmarked: Saranac Lake N.
