When is the last time you mailed a postcard? The use of the once-popular card has declined with the advent of modern communication technology.
Ms. Joan Matura has forwarded a collection of century-old postcards belonging to the late Steve Myers. Mr. Myers was a former student of this writer and was a well-known organist at Grace United Church of Christ in Northampton.
The old postcards give a nostalgic picture of former local landmarks. We are happy to share these cards with you, our loyal readers.
