After 70 years in limbo, a postcard found its way to the correct address (although not the intended recipients).
The postcard was sent on July 4, 1943 to Pauline and Theresa Leisenring of Elmira, New York. It was mailed by their parents, who were visiting their brother at Camp Grant in Illinois.
Unfortunately, the two Leisenring sisters died decades ago. However, at their old house in Elmira live two young girls from a different family: Hannah and Madie Podgorny. Hannah, a seventh grader, told her hometown Star-Gazette that she plans to use the postcard as part of an upcoming history project.
