"To me it looks like an older persons handwriting"

Have you ever seen an older person's handwriting? My father died at 89. His handwriting -- other than while he was recovering from his TIAs -- was far better than mine. Older people were taught penmanship in school, and their handwriting -- at least in my experience -- tends to flow, and be quite graceful when compared to "younger people's" handwriting.

That said, the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that picture is that whoever addressed it was using block letters in an attempt to foil handwriting analysis.

The second thing that popped into my mind was that perhaps whoever filled out the address used block characters so as to not foil the OCR scanners at the post offices mail sorting machines?

I understand what your saying. But most writing that is simular to this looks like an older persons writing that I have personally seen and experianced in the midwest. Like I said it is just my opinion. It seems to me that younger people use more rounding of the letters and write sloppy, not so straight and square. There is no doubt that who wrote this lifted the pen off the paper as they wrote it. To me it looks like normal handwriting of an older person.

I thought the writing looked like it was done by someone not familiar with making the letters, and lifting the pen/pencil a lot as if to double check each stroke. jmo
