'A picture is worth a thousand words. Happy Holidays!' A man says he just received a postcard from 1987 after a coronavirus deep cleaning at his post office.
That's the message one sister in California sent to her brother living in their Iowa hometown -- 32 and a half years ago. But by some happenstance, the message written on a postcard made its way to the rightful recipient this week. Paul Willis, 76, lives in the small town of Thornton, Iowa. His younger sister, Anne Lovell, 65, lives in San Francisco, California.
Ann Lovell's postcard from Havasu Falls, Arizona in 1987"I don't think we ever really talked about it in those days," she said."We just assumed everything in the mail went through." After calling his sister to say thanks for the mail, the two were intrigued by how the postcard finally made its way to them. Willis made another call to his local post office.
