King of Greetings Sent 2000 Cards Yearly by Local Card Sage
In Oberlin, 71 year old Charles Heidrich keeps a vast birthday greeting network. He mails hundreds of cards yearly to relatives, friends, and distant connections in Germany and across the United States. He began as a boy and now spends most days at his desk addressing cards. Heidrich also preserves detailed school and local records, including Henrietta teachers from 1827 to 1930, and tracks land ownership in the Henrietta area. He was crowned King of Greetings on his birthday February 18 by about 60 friends at Locust Grove.
