Premier Dalton McGuinty, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA

The Mail Strike is over and I'm delighted to open the mailbox and see mail again. My Autographed portrait postcard series are in the mix of backloged mail . . This one from Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty arrived yesterday. 

With each arrival I feel as if W.R. Bray himself sends a smile.
