A postcard sent to a freshman Ruth Webber at Farmington State Teachers College, currently the University of Maine at Farmington, took 64 years to reach the campus mailroom. After receiving the card Monday on the Farmington campus, Ruth Webber McGary holds the card above her college yearbook photo.
I recently received an email that was sent in 1964. I guess it got tangled up in some mailserver. [/jk]
Neither rain, nor sleet nor massive rip in the space-time continuum....
Was it addressed to a B. Hussein Obama Sr. in Kenya? :O)
It wasn’t airmail
Newman!!!
Hope they find out where it’s been. I’m missing a lot of socks.
Probably arrived with a “Postage Due” sticker on it.
Wonder if the post office charged the school for the extra postage due.
It was sitting next to a lone shoe on the side of the road.
I guess the increase in postage rates is to cover the cost of storing the mail . . .
I’m curious what was written on it.
Was it sent by her lover from 1946, who probably figured she didn’t want to see him anymore?
From where was it sent? Is the sender still there?
Is he/she having a great time?
Does he/she wish she were there?
Did it say, “I’m staying for a few weeks more, can you feed my dog?”
Was it a request for more $$ to get home?
Important stuff.
McCain’s absentee ballot votes should be delivered by Dec 23rd, 2079.
If you like the Post Office, you’ll darn sure like government healthcare.
I once mailed a letter across Houston. It arrived a month later by way of Tennessee, according to the post marks.
