The 32 Unmailed Letters That Reached Him Too Late
-

Di:
A man in a rusted mailbox kept thirty-two sealed letters addressed to the same name for nine years - the outer envelope postmarked August 2010 and bearing a discontinued stamp - until one August morning in 2019 a lineman found them. Who wrote to him every birthday for three decades, why the letters were never mailed, and what changed when the final letter said it would be sent?
In this episode, we tell the story contained in those envelopes and the people whose lives they touched. You will hear how a decision made in 1987 left a blank on an original birth certificate, how thirty-two annual letters sat unread in an abandoned mailbox, and whether the final act of putting them in the post actually closed the distance between two men.
Person: Paul Burke
Person: Tom Ogle
Date: August 9, 2019
Location: Renner Falls, Indiana
Event: Thirty-two sealed letters found in a mailbox after nine years
- The outer envelope was postmarked August 2010 and contained thirty-two smaller sealed envelopes dated to different years of Paul’s life.
- The postal stamp on the outer envelope was a denomination the postal service stopped printing five years before 2019.
- Tom Ogle wrote one letter every year beginning August 1987 for thirty-one consecutive years, plus a final letter in August 2018.
- In 2015 Tom Ogle was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease; letters after that year are shorter and handwriting changes.
- Sandra Ogle, listed as Paul’s biological mother on his original birth certificate, died in 2012 at age forty-four.
