In January, Robert Fink, a professor at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., received a telegram that had been sent to him in 1969. (Robert Fink)
Fink received it on Jan. 2, but it was sent nearly 50 years earlier.
Fink’s telegram read: “Sorry we cannot be there to applaud when you get your diploma but our hearts and best wishes are with you. Love Dr. and Mrs. Fischman.”
The telegram congratulated Fink on his graduation from the University of Michigan. It was sent on May 2, 1969.
“I moved out of my apartment on May 1,” he said.
How does a telegram sent in 1969 get delivered in 2019?
Robert Fink said he was “pretty skeptical” when he got an email from a woman who claimed she had a telegram for him. “I suspected there might be some kind of scam involved,” he said. (Eileen Nowikowski)
