Hello followers and visitors. Tomorrow, April 21, 2012, will be the 50th Anniversary -- Opening Day of the Seattle World's Fair, aka Century 21 Exposition. I'm celebrating with some memories of my own trip to Seattle in 1962. My mother and I traveled by train from Texas to attend the Fair. We had lunch at the Space Needle and a photographer snapped our picture. When we arrived back home we received the little memory folder shown below.
Opening up the folder shows us dining in "the eye of the needle" restaurant. (Be sure to click on photo for a larger view.) And take a look at that photo of downtown Seattle in 1962!
The postmark on the back of the mailer is dated July 19, 1962, and postage was only 4 cents! The Space Needle even had their own postmark.
Wow, time sure flies! Fifty years already. Thanks for stopping by John's Island.
