Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on November 24, 2021 at 9:52am: TWO MOR FROM KATERINA FROM HER TRIP WEST IN 1961 (Wow! 60 years ago!)

1. Eagle Gate Salt Lake City

" This was formerly the entrance to the private house of Brigham Young. The Bee-Hive house is located on the left in the foreground, and the State Capitol can be seen in the background."

Brigham didn't have a dog or cat, nor a hamster or a goldfish: he had an eagle.

2. Kennecott's Bingham Copper Mine, Bingham Canyon, Utah

"The Mine is located approx 28 miles SW of Salt Lake City. It is the largest surface copper mine in North America...Blasting occurs daily in the afternoons."

Katerina -- why were you collecting Boring Postcards like this 60 years ago? Did you know that their day would eventually come on IUOMA?

Comment by Raphael Nadolny on November 22, 2021 at 1:18pm: Postcard with airplane - Hapag Lloyd - Airbus A 300 B4.
