Bi-annual bump as we have over 1000 new members since the last one... Happy collecting!

My father worked with Burdick at Crouse-Hinds in Syracuse, NY before the war and me.:D
Unfortunately he did not recall meeting him in person and Burdick never sent him a letter.:( |
Burdick was born in 1900. There is a pretty concise bio of him on Wikipedia.
He was a young guy, early middle age anyway, when these letters were written. My question, what is the source of the Burdick letters? And is there anyone around today who knew him. 60 years is a stretch, but it's possible. lumberjack |

I would have to guess there are still a few people alive that met him, but not sure. . |
Time for a yearly bump for those that might not have seen these. Enjoy!

thanks Leon.
my grandfather and a couple of his brothers worked at Crouse-Hinds for decades and i am sure they knew Burdick since they were of the same age. My dad was born in '25 and would have been 100 last month and was collecting cards in the 30s and now i wonder if he met Burdick since he would have been a kid in the same neighborhood as Burdick. sadly when my dad and i went looking for his cards in my grandparents attic back in the 70s we came up empty, maybe they ended up in Burdick's collection? LOL. great letters from a bygone era of collecting. |

Unfortunately, it looks like the South Course Street in Syracuse is now a parking lot. The Briggs Street address in Harrisburg and the Ridgeview Avenue address in White Plains look probably much like they did in 1936…
