Postcard arrives in Ohio 47 years late

[gunslingingbird]

HUDSON, Ohio – A woman's postcard bearing greetings from Montana has finally arrived in northeastern Ohio — 47 years later.

Insurance agent Dave Conn opened his post office box in the community of Hudson last week and found the mailing sent from Helena, Mont., in 1962.

I wonder if a certain member of this forum had something to do with this... Hmm...

Or it could have been something to do with a certain Deloran??

Maildude, did you have anything to do with this?

It calles a Mail trap, well the mail was started to sort, and this was known that was going to happen. In 47 years it will happen again.

Amazing how card and ink can last that long.

There's documents way older than that postcard that's been through a lot worse and still has the ink on them.

I read an article a couple of years back how a letter was delivered by the Royal Mail [UK] after nearly a hundred years after being posted. It had fell down the back of some machine in the postal area it arrived at. And when they decided to remove the machine due to renovations or something like that, this is when they came across the letter lying there behind the device. So they delivered it. Even though the person who lived at the address at the time would be LONG GONE by now.

SHIT.... this is my 666th post :eek:
