Thats what I meant how could you be a hungry college student if you were 2? Am I missing something or is this story not about you.

No, you are missing something. The story is an email I received from the person that sold me the postcard via ebay.

The story was about the ebay (or other) seller of the postcard, although in 1963, two-year old Leon was a sophomore, so I can understand the confusion

Ah, my mistake because the way it starts out says I want to share how I got this card , meaning I thought it was You! I didnt know you were posting it for someone else. Carry on my friend!

My fault. I usually communicate better. Just found it interesting...plus the postcard is always said to be from 1907-1909 but with this one having the 1907 postmark makes it a little more special. Plus the story is from the guy that was helping clean the original recipients home, which is sort of neat for provenance. That means there has been a total of 3 owners, including me, in 106 yrs.

edited to correct postmark date

Leon - on my screen it looks like the postmark reads 1907. Is that correct?

yes, I am doing a few things at once. Thanks, I corrected my post. A 1909 postmark wouldn't have been quite as special.
