Description: This is a vintage postcard, posted 1976 of Miami, Florida. The postcard is nothing special but the correspondence is cool. It was addressed to musician Dan Jones. It was written by a friend, also a musician. One of the highlights: “We’re playing congas in a shopping mall with a go-gp dancer” There is also some talk of money owed and it is clear that Dan was experiencing some hard times. I found the postcard at the Evanston, Illinois estate of Robert Russell Jones (Dan’s father) originally of Topeka Kansas, Jones had a successful career in journalism, culminating in him being anppointed editor of Industrial Research magazine. His work at Industrial Research is what brought him and his family to Chicago. His wife was the author Dorothy V. Jones. Dan Jones was the great great great great grandson of the Potawatomi missionary Robert Simerwell. His great great great grandmother was Elizabeth Simerwell Carter, the first non-indigenous female born in Kansas. Sadly, Dan Jones passed away as a young adult. The card is in acceptable vintage condition, note that there is some corner wear and edge wear. See photos. Look at all of my postcards! I am happy to combine shipping. Just ask either before or after your purchase. It all works,
