Postcard of the day
Jan 10, 1951
No more nickels. Gram's too far away now. Be a good boy for Mommie.
Gram
That reads like Raymond Carver's attempt at writing a very short story for the under-5 set.

Poor little Paul. I wonder if we could somehow track him down . . .
Actually, I think I got a bunch of cards addressed to him in a lot I bought off eBay. I'll have to go back and check to be sure, but I think he went into the service.
Hmm . . . that would be "the Meat Grinder" in his era. I don't think Little Paul came back.
I sent an authentic WWII Japanese flag covered in well-wishes to the Japanese consulate here to see if the relatives could be tracked down . . . unfortunately it was the day after the Great Earthquake.
But I'd love to meet the relatives.
