A California man who received a letter from Alabama postmarked Aug. 9, 1944, said he is hoping to track down the rightful owner.

Gary McMaster, volunteer curator for the Camp Roberts Historical Museum, said a letter arrived in the mail last week with the 1944 postmark and addressed to “Miss R.T. Fletcher, American Red Cross Station Hospital, Camp Roberts, California,” the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser reported Thursday.

McMaster said the postmark listed Montgomery as the letter’s place of origin, but the corner with the return address had been torn from the envelope.

Under the heading of strangest recalls ever, Mazda today is weaving the most bizarre of all: 52,000 Mazda6 in the U.S. are being recalled because of possible spider webs. The fear is that they can lead to blockages that will eventually cause fuel tanks to leak.

10 years ago a browser was born. Its name was Internet Explorer 6. Now that we’re in 2011, in an era of modern web standards, it’s time to say goodbye.

This website is dedicated to watching Internet Explorer 6 usage drop to less than 1% worldwide, so more websites can choose to drop support for Internet Explorer 6, saving hours of work for web developers.
