This is a postcard that the fellow I eventually married sent me in late summer after we had dated for a while although nothing serious. He was a lot of fun and we had a good time together that summer. He eventually went into the service during the time of occupation in Germany. We didn't write each other - probably didn't even think about each other. I was in my senior year in high school and having a fine time, and he had a fine time in Germany, also. It was about four years later when he was out of the service that he and a couple of his friends came down to my house to see me. Ray and I started dating again and this time it became serious - we married on September 4, 1949.
Although tomorrow would be our 61st anniversary, we had an actual 48 great years together. So that's the story behind this little old postcard. Happy PFF

Bravo for BEARing with each other! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you ever find a postcard like that (or some other wild mammal), without a sentimental value, let me know. Maybe we can make a swap. :)
That is a wonderful card! And you've got such nice memories attached to it. :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful card and wonderful story. Such memories for you. Happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteI'm always fascinated with bear cards. I keep finding them at estate sales.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on so many years of a loving marriage. This would have been my parents 65th.
Very happy anniversary to you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful memory to have of your courtship days, and the role this card played. How little we know when we first meet the person we marry, and how magical in retrospect.
ReplyDeleteYou know you have a good man when he sends good postcards! What a sweet story and great memories.
