A postcard mailed from Chicago in 1958 has finally reached its intended recipient, with a little help from Facebook. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the postcard depicting Shedd Aquarium recently arrived at Scott McMurry’s Virginia home, more than five decades after his mom mailed it. The 71-year-old said that he immediately recognised his mother’s handwriting. The postcard was addressed to Clairmont Lane in Decatur , Georgia , where McMurry grew up. But it recently arrived in Elizabeth Fulcher’s mailbox on Clairmont Lane in South Daytona, Florida . Fulcher posted a picture of the postcard on Facebook and her friends helped track down McMurry, Stuff.co.nz reported. The reason behind half-century mail delay remains a mystery. In the meantime, the aquarium has offered to give him a tour of the attraction that his late parents visited.
