A short but sweet message from a woman in California to her brother in Iowa was finally delivered — more than 30 years after it was sent.
In December 1987, Anne Lovell sent her older brother Paul Willis a postcard. On the front was a photo of Lovell in front of a waterfall, and on the back was a note: “A picture is worth 1,000 words...Happy Holidays! Love, Ann.”
Somewhere between San Francisco and Willis’ home in Thornton, Iowa, the postcard went missing. Willis didn’t find this out until a few days ago, when the card finally made it to his mailbox. Lovell had never asked him if the postcard arrived. “Because we just assumed everything in the mail went through,” she said.
The postcard was sent for a second time on April 29 in Des Moines. Willis called his local post office for more information, and was told that many locations are doing deep cleans because of the coronavirus(冠状病毒), and that's likely how it was found and dropped back into the mail. Willis said he and Lovell were both really excited about it. It was one of those sort of fun things that happened.
