That other postcard was blank on the back, while this one has a note, written by somebody who ate there.

Did Fat Boy Charlie eat Slender Theresa?
I don't see her on the card.

I guess we will never know what happened to Slender Theresa, or the rest of the family for that matter.  (Where did Ma get the dough for that giant diamond ring?)  No last name on the QSL card so that pretty much limits any kind of search.  Somewhere along the line, the ham radio family packed up their antennae and left for parts unknown, leaving nothing behind but a rather nasty looking pothole out on the street.  It appears that their house was replaced by an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting hall.

I’m guessing “Burnham” is Ma’s last name.
Are we having fun yet?

That's right.  The double quotation marks on the other two 'first' names threw me off.  Thanks.   I tried to find something on Charles Burnham but no luck.  I wish they had put Ma's first name on the card.  That would have narrowed the search.

Here are a couple from, I'm assuming, WWII.  No messages or dates on the backs.

I'm taking part in this week's postcard auction but I won't be trying for this one.  Normally I would consider it for use in the monthly full moon dedication post but others are interested in it, so I'll let it go.  I've already got a bunch of full moon postcards in stock.

Here is yet another Tom Breneman postcard.  This one is extra cool though because it shows an interior shot of his restaurant.

There was a nasty arson set fire back in 2012 but the restaurant has since been rebuilt.  http://thecolumbiahouserestaurant.com/columbia-house-restaurant-history/

I like those early 1960's autos parked at the restaurant,

I think the place has changed hands.  It is called Harley Jack's Burgers and Brews, now.
