PPC from Merida Mexico - Chichen Itza - Sent to Congressman - Help with Passport

"columns of the warriors. Chichen Itza ruins, Merida Yucatan."

 

A "real photo" card sent from Merida Yucatan in 1955, long before it became a major tourist attraction.

 

Sent to an 8 term Congressman from New York in the New House Office Building. Message thanked him for help in getting a speedy passport to visit Mexico, Guatemala, and Salvador.

 

In 1950s and 1960s requested priority tickets from my Representative to visit the White House, the Supreme Court, and Congress. Remember standing next to Senate Majority Leader Dirksen in the Senate Cloakroom -- I was still a pre-teen and was impressed by his suit and haircut. Saw future Vice President Humphrey speaking on the Senate floor.
