GOSHEN, Ind. — A northern Indiana woman has finally received a postcard
that her mother mailed from Southern California nearly 60 years ago.
印第安纳州北部哥珊地的一名女子最终收到了母亲大约60年前从南加州寄来的一张明信片。
The postcard was hand-delivered to Sharon Gongwer of Goshen last week by
Christine Combs, the manager of the Quality Inn & Suites in Goshen. Combs
had found it tucked away in a drawer while cleaning out cabinets.
这张明信片上周由哥珊地的凯丽套房酒店经理克里斯廷.康姆斯亲手交给了雪伦.冈维尔。康姆斯清理橱柜时发现它藏在抽屉里。
The Goshen News reports the postcard dated Aug. 26, 1958, described in
penciled print the adventures from her mother’s time in Southern California. On
the front was a photo of palm trees lining a neighborhood street. The postage
was 3 cents.
《哥珊地新闻》报道称，这张日期为1958年8月26日的明信片上面用铅笔写着她母亲在南加州时的经历。正面是一张棕榈树环绕街道的照片。邮费为3美分。
“I looked at the date and thought, how strange is that?” Combs said. It was
addressed to “Miss Sharon Ann Gongwer” of nearby Wakarusa, so she looked up the
name and found the intended recipient residing at an assisted living center near
the hotel.
“我看了看日期，心想:‘真奇怪啊!’”康姆斯说。明信片地址是瓦卡鲁萨附近的“雪伦.安.冈维尔小姐”，所以她查了一下这个名字，发现收件人就住在酒店附近的一个辅助生活中心。
Neither woman knew how the postcard ended up at the hotel, but Combs said
she was glad she came across it.
两个女人都不知道这张明信片是怎么最后到了酒店的，但是康姆斯说她很高兴发现了它。
“Some people probably would have thrown it away if they found it,” Combs
said.
康姆斯说:“有些人发现后可能会把它扔了。”
The postcard was well preserved.
这张明信片保存得很好。
“To have a postcard in this good of condition is amazing,” Gongwer said as
she thanked Combs for delivering the lost postcard.
“拥有一张保存得这么好的明信片是一件很神奇的事。” 冈维尔说。她感谢康姆斯送来了丢失的明信片。
“I’m glad I could make you smile today,” Combs replied.
“我很高兴今天能让你开心。” 康姆斯回答。 |
