This is not a picture postcard, but it is a card that came from Camp Jayhawk near Topeka, Kansas in 1965 from our then 11 year old son, Bill. His fun personality was shining through even back then. I love the way he addressed the card in the block letters. Bill was always drawing and was and still is very talented along those lines. I think in some of the older posts I have featured some of his early art featuring fellows with warts on their noses, big ears and cigarettes hanging from their mouths. Spelling was not one of Bill's best subjects back then but that is has improved vastly. Bill was in the scouts for a long time and his dad was a neighborhood commissioner and was very active with the troup. A great experience for both of them. I think I have blogged about it earler so will say no more. Fun card, though - hope you like it!

That's so sweet! What a great memory.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful card to have been kept for so long. It brings back so many memories for you. I have one or two things from my sons about that age and I treasure them.
