Here is a cover that was in a collection I bought locally a couple of years ago. It was address to Col. Charles Lindberg. The date on the cover is Feb. 20, 1928. Lindberg was the first person to fly across the Atlantic from the US.

I wish the cover was not smeared, but you can read most of it.

Oh wow. That is of historical significance I bet. I'll have to see who that fellow is that's writing as that is the key to the mystery.

Really neat!

I found a Randolph W. Page in the 1930 census in Beverly Hills, CA. HERE

That letter would have been written when Randolph was a lad of about 10 years old.
