Video: Postcard spends 50 years in Maine, before postal worker finds rightful recipient

WEST PARIS (WGME) — A postcard, sent from Cape Cod in 1963, ends up in Maine for 50 years.

The postcard showed up in the Quirk family’s mailbox in Connecticut recently, with a message from an aunt who has since passed away.

The postcard somehow ended up in West Paris, where a postal worker, named Tom went above and beyond.

He tracked down the rightful recipients and even apologized that the card arrived five decades late.

“It took my breath away.”

“What really got me was he took the time on his own to find us, that’s just not heard of today,” says Joan Quirk, who received the postcard, mailed in 1963. Read more
