Welcome to episode 1 of Messages From the Past. In this new series I'll chronicle vintage correspondence from postcards, yearbooks, photographs and personal letters and diaries that I've come across as a reseller. Join me as we look back at these small bits of history, and how people interacted, and communicated with each other, in a bygone era before instant messenger and facetime.
In this episode I’m taking a look at the Houghton College Boulder, a yearbook from 1950.
