"My Mom used to talk about traveling from Brookline to Grandpa Keller's house for the Summer.  They would pack the steamer trunk and take the train North.  She loved it.  I'm not sure if Marge Keller traveled with her but it is likely as they were close friends.  Maybe the grandkids traveled together on the train."  (From Mildred's son, Dave Purcell)
