The post office wasn't as strict back then. My letters and cards are returned with grades. Got a C- on the last one. And a note: Cynthia needs to improve her planning skills.

Cheeky Monkey! You've a real sense of humor for even suggesting the use of artistic license to put one over on the US Postal Service! If you think my enthusiasm for such a thing is lacking, check out the envelope I sent to Mary Green a few days ago: http://greenpaper.typepad.com/green/2009/08/envelope-art.html and in particular the stamp. Click on the image of the envelope and enlarge it. You will notice a line running upper Left corner to lower Right corner. It's two recombined pieces of two stamps. In the Philatelic world it's called a 'Bisect' when a stamp is cut in half. In my world, since the stamps are the King & Queen of Hearts, it's called a Bisectual Union or a Royal Wedding when the pieces are 'mated'. Any questions? By the way - Did I tell you I like postcards? Oooooh! Cheeky Monkey! You’ve a real sense of humor for even suggesting the use of artistic license to put one over on the US Postal Service!

A had a however-many-greats grandfather named Philip Smith, born well over 100 before yours, who settled in Bedford (later Somerset) Co, PA. Haven't thought of him in years! Thanks! And yes, how lucky someone had the good sense to save the card! For some reason, I was instantly drawn to this postcard, and then got quite a start on seeing the name of the addressee.
