February 29, 1968
Dear Glenna,
Wish to thank you so much for everything. Guess you think I have forgotten you. We were (?) boat on Sat N for a dinner. Gone all day Sun. Monday (?) friends of ours. Pat a+ Rich went on to Miami (?) I was going home from there. (Shaw?) father sick she might have to go there. Judy will be here. I will write you.
Mrs. Glenna Castul (Casteel?)
5203 Cortez Road
Orlando, Fla. 32808
West Palm Beach was incorporated by Henry Flagler in 1894 as a stop on his railroad. If he knew that visitors to his city would be stricken with frustratingly bad handwriting, he may have stopped at St. Augustine. Researching the people mentioned on this card is tantalizingly difficult, mainly because the search tools I use are local. Here's what I pieced together so far:
The house at 5203 Cortez Drive still stands in the Orlando neighborhood of Pine Hills, and was probably in a much safer neighborhood back in 1968 than it is now.
The earliest online record from the Orange County Property appraiser is from August 1993, when the house built in 1953 was sold by a Bruce and Beatrice Cutshall.
That's it. No birth records, obituaries, or marriages with any variation on the name of the recipient. I'm going to physically research this one, since it's close to home. I'll update this post with any new leads.
