This isn't a post about someone sending me cards. This is about some mail that got sent 20 years before I was born. One year after winning the NL Rookie of the Year Bill Virdon started coaching on the side. It was probably a good start since it was something he did for over 30 years after his playing days were through.
How cool is that return address? A full photo on the front of the envelope.
Inside is a letter on legal paper. Man were the times different. The camp, plus room and board are only $165 for 4 WEEKS! My daughter's 1 week soccer camp last year was $650.
Kudos to Mr. Formuff for preserving this envelope and letter so well. It is a cool little addition to my Virdon Collection.

Wow. Four weeks for $165? I'm sure my parents would have signed me up for back to back to back sessions if they knew about this camp.
Accounting for inflation, that $165 would be around $1,565.05 in 2019 dollars.
