Postcard - Olympia, Washington

 

"Daniel J. Evans Library Building. This modern facility, housing seminar rooms and offices as well as up-to-the-minute library operations, is part of a 1000 acre campus on the Cooper Point Peninsula, five miles northwest of downtown Olympia."

Ah, back in the days when tuition for in-state students was less than $200 a quarter. It all became out of reach after Reagan, kids.

This card was handed to me in the spring of 1975, judging by the address. "Rena" was one of the many names used by Lynda Barry, the author of this missive. "Stella" and "Plex" were a couple other monikers for her. My trivia claim to fame in Cartoonland is that I knew Lynda Barry and Matt Groening before they knew each other.
