I won this postcard at auction last year.  I had to bid up a little ways on it due to it's subject matter.  Not much though, I think I got it for around $1.25 or so.  Well worth the extra money because it is quite a dynamic photo.

Hate to admit it but I really don't get the idea behind this postcard.  (Perhaps it's because I'm always the last person to 'get' a joke.)

Not that it matters.  I purchased it for the 'artwork.'

I love this, 26! Takes me way back and so many good memories with my Dad. I wish I had one of his QSL cards, I'd post it in a heartbeat!  Actually,  I don't  think Decatur was far from where I grew up,  Dad's number was a KNJ, I think. ☺

Hi Rikki,  I think this is a gem!  Great  picture but the writing on the back of the card just goes to show how much we think times change, how little they really do.  ☺

Hi Caith.  I know, that final sentence on the card says it all.  "Also on the agenda: minimizing escalating violence in the Middle East." 
Keep visiting the thread, I recently purchased a number of QSL cards and I'll be posting them as time goes by.

I am pleased to report that the Hotel Ojibway is still alive and well.  Apparently it was bought out and the name has been changed, but the building itself is still there.  If you click on 'dining' in the following link, you will see that the Cocktail Lounge has been remodeled somewhat but it still looks the same in certain ways, especially that wall of windows.  https://ojibwayhotel.com/

The stamp cancellation date is September 29, 1961.

Dear Evie
Have really had a wonderful trip 
had no idea of being up here but we met
a AAA tour and friends were on it
so they wanted us to come this way
it was great.
Love
Doty

PS: September 29, 1961 was the date of Bob Dylan's first recording session.  He played backup harmonica for folk singer Carolyn Hester.

If I ever find myself out that way I plan on trying the 91 year old chicken gumbo recipe at Freighter’s Restaurant

I wonder what the Poe and the MacArthur sandwiches consist of?  Not that it matters, I'd try either one to go with the soup.  Definitely chocolate cake for dessert.

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a traditional French Onion Soup. I think I’ll start with that.
