This lovely vintage postcard was mailed with an 8 cent Eisenhower USA stamp along with a one cent green Thomas Jefferson stamp, postmarked Fort Lauderdale January 28, 1976. It was mailed to Ms Catherine Robbins, 231 Washington Street, Riverside, N.J. 08075. It reads:

Thank you for your card. Weather a little chilly right now but better than ice & snow. Doing great with my contact. (Fran)
Be back April 1st, wish we could all get together. Love Frances & Howard

Unfortunately, 3101 seems to have been replaced by a large condo unit. There still are a couple of other nice little motels on the street, though.
