Just 54 years later! A Soldier in Germany sent a package to his parents in Pennsylvania - it never got there. There was a "return in five days" note above the soldier's New York return address - it never got there. Nobody knows where it's been for all these years, but finally the package found it's way to a Post Office in Pennsylvania. That's where a diligent postal worker found the current address of the former soldier (in Davie), and overnighted the package. The family of the former soldier were more than thrilled to get the package. Unfortunately, Richard Lanshe passed away last May. His wife of 50 years says she wishes he were here to laugh about it... as do we!
What has my mind all a reeling is.. where the heck was this package for 54 years? It doesn't look weather damaged.. where could a package be for over 50 years? In the Post Office? Was it delivered to the incorrect address and the residents kept it? I must know!!!!
As an aside, the postage in 1954 was 6 cents; on May 12th, the cost of a first-class stamp goes up to 42 cents.
