Tadd Kotick is the collector who first gave me a list of Enell postcards. Subsequently, I learned that he had also written an ariticle about George V. Enell. On November 21, 1997, I met Tadd at the York Postcard Show and he authorized me to publish his article on this website. Here is the article.
1. New York International Airport TerminalNow here's the postcard list which was originally composed by Tadd, who then shared it with me. I added several more, and through my Postcard Post customers, added still more. If you can help us fill in the blanks, please write or e-mail. Just two more to find! #3 & #5E. Can you help?
