Postcard - Lake Willoughby, Vermont

"Aerial view of Lake Willoughby, which lies between two mountains and is often described as similar to a Swiss Lake. It is nearly 5 miles long, providing good water sports and fishing. It is in the town of Westmore, north of Lyndonville, Vt. on Vt. 5A."

1970s. When I was growing up here in Washington State, we never saw submarine sandwiches. When I lived in Vermont for awhile in 1979 I met my first "grinder" at Lake Willoughby and became hooked.

William Bell Sings Bacharach

Postcard - Burlington, Vermont

"Greetings from Burlington, Vermont"

Probably originally created in the 1940s, but I suspect this one is a reproduction, which was sent to me in 1984. I lived in Burlington in 1979 where, among other jobs, I drove a taxicab. I fell in love with Vermont and hope to return there one day to visit.

The Sentence

"Do you have any idea how hard honest working people have to break their backs to earn the precious dollars out of which you so blindly con them?"

Clip of one of the more creative legal sentences, from Dear God.


Postcard - Vermont

"Sugaring in Vermont. Horses stand ready to pull the gathered sap back to the sugarhouse."

1970s.

Jenny Luna Sings Bacharach

Postcard - Salt Lake City, Utah

"Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Tabernacle Organ, Temple Square - Salt Lake City, Utah. The nationally acclaimed Mormon Tabernacle Choir is home in Salt Lake City. Its weekly broadcasts from the Tabernacle on Temple Square is the oldest coast-to-coast program on the radio. The 375-member choir, formed 125 years ago, regularly tours the country. Public organ recitals are conducted on the great organ in the Tabernacle at noon (except on Sunday) and summer evenings at 7:30. The choir sings each Sunday morning in a performance that lasts 30 minutes beginning at 9:30. The public is also invited to the Choir rehearsals Thursday evenings at 7:30."

1970s is my guess. It was mailed to me in 1979.

Chuck Jackson Sings Bacharach

Better Than Gold

From the Spokane Falls Review, Feb. 2, 1888

Postcard - Salt Lake City, Utah

"Temple Block, Salt Lake City, Utah. The Temple Block is a ten acre square, encompassed by a solid stone and adobe wall, 12 feet high and 3 feet thick, with large gates on each of the four sides. Within the walls are the Great 'Mormon' Temple, Tabernacle, Assembly Hall, Bureau of Information, Museum and the First House built in Utah."

Looks like 1920s.
