A love letter written to a U.S. college student in the state of Pennsylvania and delivered 53 years late will be mailed to its intended recipient who is now an elderly man. A spokeswoman for the California University of Pennsylvania said the letter, addressed to Mr. Clark C.
Moore and postmarked February 20, 1958, arrived mysteriously in the mail room last week. On Thursday, university officials located Moore, now 74. He had changed his name to Muhammad Siddeeq and was living in Indianapolis. A friend saw a news report about the letter and contacted him, said university spokeswoman Christine Kindl. The letter had been sent when he was enrolled as a junior at the university, then known as California State Teachers College.
It included a return address, but little other information about the sender, who signed the letter, “Love Forever, Vonnie.” Siddeeq, a retired teacher, told the university he and Vonnie had married and had four children together before parting ways.
