xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 06/25/2009 12:15 pm Very nice note! I think it says "from Oahu, Hawaii". It may have been spent by mistake Report this Post to the Staff
WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 06/25/2009 2:54 pm Oh, yeah, that's real...the ink type and fade looks about right. Remember, no ball-points widely used back then, all pens were fountain pens. Scenario is probably that Dad is in the forces; it's almost the end of WWII, and hostilities have ceased in Europe. The war in the Pacific still goes on with the Japanese, though, and would for just under three months more. On leave in Hawaii, Dad receives one of these Hawaii notes and sends one to his daughter as a souvenir of a time and place. I hope he got home okay. Report this Post to the Staff
