eBay Bringing Home A Little Closer Than Expected
Suzi Dagney and her husband, both retired military, have been all around the world.
They’ve lived in Spain, set up housekeeping in Sicily, sent the children to school in Japan. So it was no wonder that one day Suzi got to thinking about home – specifically, her hometown of Mosiertown, Pa., population 42.
She was bored; she had a computer. She Googled.
She got a surprise hit on eBay – a man in Michigan was selling a picture postcard dated 1916, with a scene of cows in a pasture by still water and the legend: “Beauty spot near Mosiertown, PA.
Suzi called her husband, Mike. I want this postcard, she told him, this is from home. I want this postcard.Boy, you must be bored, said the mister, but he bought it for $4.45 and, four days later, it arrived.
Suzi admired the cows and the water, then turned the postcard over to read the message on the back. She read it again, aloud, just the other day.
