about the find:

I know you doubt it, but the post card is actually hawking related. The Rare Bird Farm in Miami Florida sent a message to the effect "No, we don't have hawks". Photo by Bunny Yeager. Now to decide if I should sell the postcard separate on ebay, or just leave it in the book where I found it for the next guy.

responses:

honestly though, who uses a typewriter to write a postcard?!

I like the (intentional?) ambiguity in the description on the back: "hundreds of the worlds rare and exotic creatures roam free and uncaged".

- that's certainly one impressive "rare and exotic creature" on the front all right *nudge, wink* ;D

I hope Mr. James P. Dawson is among hawks, where ever he may be. :)

Someone asked, "who uses a typewriter to write a postcard?".
Well, I always used to get my staff to type postcards if it was a business response, which this example obviously was. Couldn't trust their handwriting, nobody would be able to read it. As my old schoolmaster said, "If you must dip a spider in the ink and then let it crawl all over the page, don't dip it in the brandy first".
But as for the picture, mmm, we should have more of this. Looks a sprightly young filly, eh? what? yes.
