Postcard from Riverton
« on: August 04, 2006, 11:51:22 pm »
Couldnt find a thread to put this in, but I just wanted to show if off....

My friend Judy, from Texas who I met on the Yahoo Board, recently went with a group to Wyoming, and traced the steps of our boys...From what she has told me it was one of the most moving experiences she has ever had.

She sent me this postcard from Riverton....

And only missed the full moon (anniversary of the reunion) by 2 days. I hadn't scrolled all the way down, at first, and hadn't seen the message - You bet!

Regarding the Riverton post office....from what Judy told me, when she took the postcards in to the post office, she told the lady there, about the group she was with and their pilgramage in honour of BBM...and the lady was very nice and she made sure she took her time stamping the cards with the postmark so they would be nice and clear.....

Were the hat colors added to the mural after BBM was filmed?  ;)

Thanks for showing us these cards and the mural.... great stuff!  -- Alec
