Boy's postcard mailed in 1967 turns in Oklahoma

PAULS VALLEY, Okla. (AP) — may have taken 46 years, but a boy card made home to MOM.

Bert Jacobson sent the postcard to his mother in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, in January 1967, when she was 13 years old. The paper, from the Old Country Store Museum in Hereford, Penn, arrived last Friday.

Jacobson told television station KOTV Tulsa (http://is.gd/5MzAmX) who traveled to the East Coast with his father and cousins to buy concrete trucks and equipment for the family business.

The postcard was sent by Abraham Lincoln stamp 4 cents. The card reads: "MOM, Hi. We had a great time. "

Jacobson's sister, Marilyn Hubbard, says their mother was not surprised that his son has sent a paper — only that it took 46 years to arrive.
