Received this great (and humorous!) postcard from Minnesota. There's a return address (hope I'm not being quite dim) but I couldn't figure out who sent it.  Maybe someone can help?…

Oh Boy! Mail Art from William always makes my day happier! Very nice one-off ATC on top which uses at least three different rubber stamps -- I learned once how to combine them like the big-hatted lady and the two gentlemen (ahem) on the bottom so it wasn't obvious but I never really got it.

Really some lovely postcards...and recalls our meet-up in Constantinople:…
