Postcard arrives to wrong house, 50yrs late

Source: news.com.au - 

THE nearly 60-year journey of a postcard through at least four states is finally winding down, although the little Georgia boy whose parents wrote him during a trip to Chicago is now 71 years old.

The postcard, with a picture of the Windy City's Shedd Aquarium on the front and a two-cent stamp on the back, landed in the mailbox of Elizabeth Fulcher, of South Daytona, Florida, last week. 

"I looked at it and saw it had a 2-cent stamp and thought, 'Wow, this looks really old'," Ms Fulcher told FOXNews.com.

She posted a photo of the postcard on Facebook and her friends went to work tracking down its intended recipient, Scott McMurry, a Justice Department historian now living in Virginia.

That was only half of the mystery. Figuring out where the postcard had been all these years required even more sleuthing.
