<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 564785, member: 5398&quot;]This is just some unnecessary information, but even as late as the 1960s-70s, U.S. Navy officers&#039; wives had to have calling cards printed to leave at the commanding officer&#039;s home when invited for a social visit. My husband was going through flight training in Pensacola and I was &quot;instructed&quot; to get a supply of engraved cards with just my name printed on plain white card stock (the printer even gave me the copper plate so I could have more printed if needed). I only remember using one card, which I left in a little silver tray at the CO&#039;s home. I think that custom may have gone by the wayside soon after, or maybe it was a southern tradition. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and had never heard of calling cards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
