Although, I do have a problem with a few things. One, these postal workers opened the letter. I don't think they should be doing that. Two, if it was sent in 1958 then the postage is incorrect and it should be returned to sender but that is not romantic. Lastly, these folks need to clean up their office more often. Who knows what is sitting around in there. Other than that this would be a heart warming story if they delivered the letter. This is a touching story. Although, I do have a problem with a few things.

Just because it was delivered 50 years late, they can open it and report its contents as news? The article said that they knew where the guy lived. They should have delivered the letter to him first and then asked him if they could quote from it for the article. I don’t understand this.

The reason for the title "ancient" is because it wasn't sent last week. I think anything mailed and not delivered ontime is ancient (with in a month- reasonably). So to find a letter years old should be ancient. I am not a teenager while making this statement. Stop being so dang touchy. Everyone is soo easily offended - knock it off and get a life! If you are reading this my sibling and mother were both born before the dates mentioned. They agree chill out! They should have cleaned up and figured this out long ago! Hello!
