First day of issue envelope commemorating the 30th anniversary of the installation of the Prospector statue at the Pioneer Home in Sitka, Alaska
My Dad’s friend, Max Lewis, son of the Sculptor, Alonzo Victor Lewis, sent the card together with inserts telling about the statue and the artist. Although not a postcard it is connected to the Thursday postcard, part 1, and since I often include stamps ithis seemed appropriate to include as a part 2.
The two inserts that arrived with the first day of issue envelope. The text was written by Max Lewis, the son of the artist, Alonzo Victor Lewis. To enlarge the cards and read the text click on the image.
