And Dal, where is the DECEASED stamp? Shouldn't there be one across that envelope?
"I'll take 'Obsolete Regional Post-office Practices' for a thousand." [aka "Darned if I know"] Was the loss of the ship made known immediately? New model, nuclear -- they may have kept the event very close until the initial investigation was finished. I'm sure there were a lot of things aboard that the Navy wanted to either recover, or to make certain that they were not lying around somewhere for the Russian navy to pick up. So the letter sat around 'unclaimed,' until it was so stamped, and returned.
Yes, your honor, I swear that's what happened! honest![IOW I've been spinning BS here. Maybe something like that, though]
I can't believe that in the msn.com list of films that changed lives there is Jaws but not BBM 
Jaws changed my life too! Ever since I saw it in the 70s I have been avoiding the re-runs on television!
My Gramma never took a shower for (I guess) 35 years after she saw
Psycho; only tub baths. Such was the power of the movie, in the days before slasher flicks had become bread and butter.
Jaws Schmaws, ptui. Changing lives -- what about
Jud Suess? or
Triumph des Willens? There's a couple of life-changers for you. Jaws! [
TdW is way scarier than any fish movie, too, of course. And the bad guy wins]
