Two women have sent each other the same weathered birthday card for 81 years

“The joke is that neither one of us knows who started the card,” said Mary Kroger, 94. In 1944, a middle school girl gave her friend a card for her 14th birthday. When the girl’s birthday came around, the friend sent the same card back to her.

“Neither one of us can remember who started it,” said Pat DeReamer, one of the two girls, who is now 95. The other teen was Mary Kroger, now 94..
