OT: Snail Mail, No Doubt - Or - Keep Looking For That Lost Package To Arrive One Day ;)

[Guest guest]

I think anyone who either sends or receives mail can relate to this one

(especially those of us who send a lot of mail for a living and end up

with the inevitable lost packages issue to deal with

Woman, 97, Gets Postcard After 27 Years

October 10, 2005 7:05 PM EDT

 

ANAMOSA, Iowa - Evelyn Greenawald just learned how slow " snail mail " can

be. Last week she received a postcard from her daughter in Germany - 27

years after it was mailed.

 

At the time, her daughter Sheri was beginning her opera career in

Germany. Sheri had sent a postcard telling her mother how she fell in

love with Europe, that she would be in Paris soon and to " keep in

touch. "

 

Greenawald, 97, finally received the postcard on Wednesday after it was

forwarded to her care center. She said she had exchanged several

postcards with Sheri and was not aware she had not received a message.

 

The card had aged significantly by the time it reached Anamosa. Even a

magnifying glass couldn't bring the postcard into focus; the date was

somewhere between 1975 and 1978.

 

" This little card can tell a big story, " Greenawald said.

 

The mother has yet to reach Sheri to tell her about the late delivery.

Sheri, 57, lives in San Francisco.

I don't know which is worse, taking all this time to get the post card or unable

to reach now!
