Postal Letter

Perhaps the original postage was enough?

Anyone else think that maybe, just maybe, the original postage was plenty, considering it took 93 years for the USPS to finally deliver this card? Rather than adding postage to it for today's postal rates, seems like they should owe the recipient! lol http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071215/ap_on_fe_st/odd_long_lost_card No, they didn't charge the recipient. Just thought it was kind of funny that it required extra postage, no matter who paid for it.

1. Did the post office actually charge the relatives of the recipient for additional postage? That's illegal if they did do so!
2. Uh, they didn't charge the recipients. The person who found it and tracked down the relative wanted to make sure it got there, and wasn't ditched by any automatic system. One DOES wonder, though. Fell behind a piece of furniture on its way, and was found when the building was going to be demolished? Got stuck in the mailbox it was originally put in, and, uh, something something it was found? Wild! Reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons -- the school music teacher didn't get his notice of acceptance to Julliard, where he could have ended up having a life. Moe didn't know he COULD go out and play as a kid. At least this wasn't a life-changing thing.
