Postcard Wednesday – Off to the Dog Races!
Here’s a postcard postmarked Lake Worth, 1956. No specific location is mentioned on the postcard.
On the back “Mom” writes that she is going to see “Mr. Kefauver” later in the day. Since it’s postmarked April of 1956 would indicate that the presidential race of that year was going strong. She is going to see Estes Kefauver, Tennessee Senator, who ran fro President in 1956. He ended up in the race as Adlai Stevenson’s Vice-Presidential candidate. Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower won the ’56 Presidential race.
