Re: [Palindrome] Postcard mailed to me



Great work, Carol, getting that scanned!

And kudos to the Hunt folks for starting the hunt in a cool and clever 
way.  Actually, thinking of "Mr. E. Hunt" was darned clever, too.  And I 
love a secret agent theme (assuming that really is the theme).  Boding 
well!

For what it's worth, the athlete on the stamp is Wilma Rudolph (hard for 
me to read off the scan).  Some info on her here:

Probably irrelevant, but her name does make me think of the reindeer.

If the Hunt folks were depending on the stamp, they cut it close -- post 
card rates are now 24 cents!  (Though they could have added a penny stamp).
