How's This for a Blast Out of the Past?


It took a while to get to its destination, but that, it finally did, 93 years too late!!!

True story out of Kansas. A Christmas postcard featuring a colorful Santa Claus was mailed on December 23, 1914, from Ethel Martin's cousins in Alma, Nebraska. It finally made it to Oberlin, Kansas, this past week.

What it did between 1914 and 2007 is any body's guess. If only postcards could talk. It evidently was in Illinois at some point, because it was placed in an envelope and modern postage rates paid to get it to its destination.

And who says you can't count on the post office to do their job?
