Renee sent this card to me from the US.  She wrote a friendly note on the back of the card and told me about herself, so it was a nice card to receive.

Renee wrote,

Hello Helen, I lived in Japan (Yakota AFIB) when I was a child in the 70's. I think it has changed very much. I am a professor in S.C. now, but I went to school in Boulder, Co--hence the postcard. We are enjoying summer here-swimming & gardening. I remember Summerland Amusement Park in Japan!
Be Well!  Renee

Eleanore sent this lovely picture of Audrey Hepburn to me from Finland.  She wrote about herself and Audrey Hepburn and about an interesting coincidence...

Hi! From Finland :-) I have to tell you that I just sent a postcard to Alberta, Canada! I got the address yesterday. :-D What a coincidence.  Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite actresses so photos and cards of her are dear to me. :-)

My name is Eleanore by the way! :-D I'm a 25 years old nursing student. I wish you the best in life. :)

Francoise sent me a card of Japan, although she lives in France.  I would say it is a bit like sending coals to Newcastle though!

It's a lovely card and she put a friendly note on the back.

She wrote,

I send you a card of your country, fun is not it, I like this series a lot: as a travel, I wish you a beautiful summer wear well.
