Facebook used to track down recipient of 1958 postcard

DAYTONA, Fla. — The US Postal Service has been called "snail mail," but for one man, that name was taken to a whole new level.

A mother mailed a postcard to a Virginia man in 1958, but it didn't show up until recently in a South Daytona family's mailbox.

They used Facebook to track down the intended recipient who says it's definitely his mother's handwriting.

Officials don't know why it took more than half a century to deliver the postcard.
