Once again, the
A.Y.P. Expo anniversary is coming up this summer. At first glance, I read the name on the back of this “official postcard” of the Expo as “Hate Remibold.” Best name ever, perhaps
? Alas, no, just “Kate Remibold.” Not as good.
The author seems like an unwilling cousin forced to give a shout out.

How about Kate?
“We are well and having a swell time.”
Sounds SO incredibly heartwarming! Maybe Mary made that K look like an H on purpose after all.
I might venture to say that the last name is “Reinbold.” Also, there’s an Egypt, Washington? Yep, there is indeed–it’s near Spokane. It looks as if that town has been taken over by the Air Force Base, though.
Who knew that old jalopy would net great-uncle Jed three fetching ladies from the AYPE? The one in the rear-passenger seat doesn’t seem to interested however.
Is it even Reinhold, like the 1980s actor Judd?! Either way, love the stuff you are posting up here, fascinating finds.
