Something’s wrong here


Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?

When I was a kid in the 60’s, a postcard was 4 cents and a letter was five cents. 10 cents in 1953? I don’t think so.

You are absolutely right about the stamps. I remember using 3 cent stamps to send letters homed from Boy Scout camp. In 1953, I would only have been 8 years old, much too young for Boy Scouts. I don’t think first class postage went to 10 cents until the late 60s.
