Postcards were 24 cents in 2006. Did he come to the USA or have a reason to get them that year? How cool are they!

He travelled to the US many times over his lifetime, for vacation and stamp shows. The amount of things we are finding in his collection that make us go ‘huh’ is amusing.

Our dads had that in common. My dad traveled a lot and collected stamps and coins. I am still going through my family stuff, but mostly papers.
I found out my dad was in Iwa-Jima during WWII as a Marine! He was only 16! He got shot in the leg and was sent back home where they found out he was underage and made him finish high school. He then joined the Army at 17. I wish I had known this when he was alive but he never talked about it.

It’s been claimed, thank you!
I have a copy of The Jolly Postman or Other People’s Letters in a smaller size that is not in good shape. Some of the inner envelopes are torn and some are missing their contents. Would anyone want to use it for anything? It’s quite cute, even if it is damaged.

I got a letter from my sister yesterday that as missing the contents (and had an apology from the post office) - It is possible she forgot to put in the contents.
Looks like a cute book!
