Wing Fat Business Card ~~ Atlantic City ~~ Mid 1970s
This business card from Wing Fat has been with me since the mid 1970s when Grandma, Mom & I took a week long trip to Atlantic City. I couldn't find any indication online that Wing Fat is still there but I still have my card!

Here's The Giant Vulture Wishing You A Happy Halloween! ~~ 1978
This Halloween Snoopy card was sent to me at college by Mom shortly after a visit by her and Chris who was a family friend. She wrote inside:
"Chris and I made it home alright. She said she enjoyed it. What did you do after we left? Dad is washing the car & truck today. I had to clean and do a couple loads of wash. I must write to Grandma. I'm glad we could come yesterday, wish Dad could have too but he will be busy now until the end of the year. Let us hear from you and see if you can't bring your French grade up a bit. Happy Halloween. Love, Mom"
Love the zinger about the French grade at the end! Oh well, c'est la vie!
Inside the card, Snoopy says "I thought about being a giant bat, but hanging upside-down all night makes me dizzy!".
