45 years ago Mary Vaughn Brady wrote a letter to her family as she backpacked through Europe.

It was finally delivered this week.

Her family no longer lived at the Grand Rapids address she sent it to, but the current homeowner tracked Mary down through Facebook.

The envelope was in pretty good shape other than some unidentified stains.

The postal service has no explanation for why it took so long.

Mary says the letter brought back some great memories.
