Mail Box journey from Pikes Peak to Delphi nostalgia
Mindwell trails a reader letter cascade from Mary Morrison Wightman in Peoria to Delphi Carroll County. The piece recalls Delphi naming origins, Amphictyonic Council echoes, River Rats and Purple Privy clubs, Cliff Dwellers leadership, and a June to July pause at The Dog House. It blends hometown lore, familiar names, and local society notes.
