Member News

It is with much sadness that we report the passing of longtime Webfooter Mary Patterson, member no. 989. Mary was one of a handful of full-time postcard dealers in the Northwest and she was always willing to share her knowledge and enthusiasm about postcards and ephemera. Mary always had wonderful cards and photos. We loved her warm smile and her ability to find the things she knew we would want. We will miss her and extend our sympathies to her husband Walt Patterson, member no. 1401.
