A Hudson, Ohio woman's postcard bearing greetings from Montana has finally arrived 47 years late. Insurance agent Dave Conn opened his post office box last week and found the mailing sent from Helena, Montana. The post card had been sent out in 1962. It was sent to Marion White, a former renter of the box. The card writer signed the postcard "Fran" and mentioned having "had a marvelous time in Montana." After asking around, Conn says he determined the card must have come from White's well-traveled friend Frances Murphey, a longtime reporter at the Akron Beacon Journal. She died in 1998 at age 75. U.S. Postal Service spokesman Victor Dubina says the postcard may have been stuck in equipment or lost behind a mail chute.
