She said the postcard is made out to Leena and Muhammad Ali Kizilbash and is signed, "See you guys soon. Your Dad.’”
“It’s in really great condition for being somewhere in the mail system for 26 years,” she told The State Journal-Register.
She told the paper she thinks the family may have been renting her house at the time.
