Haven't posted any colleges or universities lately, so here's one from The University of Washington, home of the Huskies. This card has to be from 1950 or earlier, given that the current stadium has two roofs (see here) and the second roof was added in 1950.
It's been a very busy month, and I confess to feeling liberated from my commitment to post every day. I haven't posted since Monday of this week and miss it, and don't want to get out of the habit. I think the Mystery Sender is feeling the same way, as the back of this card (sent by the Mystery Sender) says "More often lately I see it's the end of the day and time to rush off a card. Been out of the loop for a few days and don't want to miss another. Peace." I may not have mentioned before that the Mystery Sender always signs the cards with "Peace."
Today is Postcard Friendship Friday, and you can see a variety of postcard blogs by clicking here. A couple weeks ago on a Friday, I posted a series of cards from a young man who was trying to get a job at my company. If you missed it or missed the comments, this post got quite a lot of response. In fact, there is a comment from the sender of the series of cards himself. Check it out here.

Nice! We have a di-versity in uni-versity.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to have to go to the bookstore at Rice and see if they have postcards! (I don't think so). Happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteWe were just up near U. of Washington last month. We found a really good inexpensive Indian restaurant near the campus - very nice.
ReplyDeleteI cam across someone the other day who collects university postcards. It isn't a category that I'd thought of before, partly because it can't be too easy to find them. Here they may be on sale at each individual university but not further afield, unless Oxford or Cambridge. I must keep an eye open for them.
ReplyDeleteI have started taking a very liberal interpretation of "every day". Playing catch up has been enforced upon me. If I try to be very well organised I post several in advance. Sometimes that happens.
Please continue your blog! But no, every day is difficult. Just ask Sheila ;-) Happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteContinue, please. I loved everything about the post: a beautiful university (I have been there), one of my favourite cities in the world, and a mystery sender. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWas everybody hardier in the past, they had no need of roofs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link back to last weeks post, I would have missed your protégé,added comments. Perfect.
I think Joy is right, people were hardier in the past, I remember watching baseball or football in very inclement weather. And two roofs well! Great card though.
