This undated postcard written to Mr. Roy Bird from Blanche shows two men on a railroad trestle in flooded waters and is part of the William E. Bird Collection. On the back of the postcard is written “Hello, Read your card all O. K. was pleased to get a card from you. I sure had a lovely time at the fair. Was sorry I didn’t get acquainted with you. Yes be sure and come to Beta the 3rd Sunday. Your almost awkward friend ‘Blanche.’” William Ernest Bird (1890-1975) was born in the Qualla community of Jackson County, NC. Bird served Western Carolina University in various capacities during his long career. Bird’s roles at WCU included head of the English Department, Dean of Men, Acting President, and President. In 1963, he published The History of Western Carolina College: The Progress of an Idea. He was married to Myrtle Wells (1891-1983).
