Martha Small

Martha Small vividly remembers the postcards she received as a young girl at summer camp over the years. They came from her grandmother, collected during her many travels. Rich with images of world landmarks and exotic locales, those cards brought even more to Martha than the warm and loving affection of their sender. They opened a window to the world for this Austin native, generating a curiosity about different lands, people and cultures that remains very strong to this day. But those postcards also passed on several very important messages: Don’t let life pass you by. Reach for your dreams. If an opportunity comes your way, go for it! A Lasting Influence Now over 90 years old, Martha’s grandmother continues to travel the world and share her adventures with her granddaughter. And Martha has followed in her footsteps. She’s been around the globe and back again; she even spent her honeymoon on a photo safari in South Africa, coming within inches of lions, giraffes and elephants. Bu
