A late arrival

[standardtom]

Derek's father will have been dead three years this coming February.

Nevertheless, today Derek's grandmother received a letter he mailed from Geneva, Switzerland, in 1972, when he was on his way to do some welding at the Suez Canal.

Needless to say, we're all pretty creeped out about this. For some members of the family, it's a very upsetting thing to receive just two days before Christmas, naturally.
