Earnest

One of my many hobbies is collecting postcards. This was started when I got my father's collection . His were all dated from 1906 to 1914, when he met my mom and they were married in 1915. No need to advertise for girls via postcards anymore. I have about 8,000 of them, then I started collecting in about 1948. With all the postcards my dad received, I have yet to find any that he sent out. Would really love to get a few, even photocopies would do as a last resort.
