Happy Easter

Another card I rescued from (Ivor's) dumpster some years back.
There are other cards to "Aunt Tena", so I am assuming she was a relative.
I just love these old cards!

Happy PFF Friday - Car care reminder, 1969

Do they still send out delightful postcards when it's time for your car to be serviced?
They did in May of 1969!

Ivor always drove Fords, always bought them from Lynn Kirby Ford on Union Avenue (now MLK) in Portland, Oregon ... and always had them served at the same dealership.

I also have a postcard from June of 1969 that says (of course) -- "Thank you for thinking of us when your car needed service."
Hmmmm I wonder what made him think of using them???

Happy PFF Friday - Ivor's Christmas 1919

I found this 1919 postcard amidst the Christmas cards and correspondence that I dumpster-dived at my sister's "house cleaning" party. Thank you lil' sissie!

1944 Graduation, Naval Academy

Ivor graduated from the Naval Academy in 1944 ... there was much correspondence between Ivor and Mildred during this time. It must have been hard for them to be separated.

It would be hard letting your child join the Navy ... in 1943.
