Loveland adds
Oh, for this Valentine to be
A truly personal visit.
Then we could see each face to face
— But of course it isn’t, is it?
And yet, the feeling is so real
With so much warmth within it.
That maybe, after all, you’ll feel
It’s ours for just a minute.

lyrics to love letters
by Leslie Barr
Battalion Reporter
For all you hopeless roman
tics who would like to sharpen
Cupid's arrow before it reaches
your Valentine, a small Rocky
Mountain town may have just
the solution for you.
Loveland, Colorado — often
referred to as The Sweetheart
Town — is a fast growing city of
36,000 people. It is nestled in the
mountains near the entrance of
Rocky Mountain National Park.
The city was named for W.A.H.

Loveland, a railroad pioneer
from early American history.
In 1947, Loveland's Postmas
ter Elmer Ivers and Chamber of
Commerce President Ted W.
Thompson realized that Love
land had the unique opportun
ity to share a little love with the
people of the United States and
the world; Loveland's Valentine
Remailing Program is the result.
Over the years, many ideas
have been used to give unique
ness to the program. The first
idea was to select a young boy
from Loveland each year to be
the Cowboy Cupid. This idea
was used from 1951 to 1961. A
new innovation developed in
1962 when a Miss Loveland
Valentine w'as chosen to repre
sent the program and spread the
Valentine story.
What does the Loveland
Valentine Remailing Program
have to do with you?
The most attractive and wide
ly known aspect of the program
is the four-line Valentine verse
that is placed on each Valentine
letter or card mailed to Love
land. The poetic creator of this
verse is Ted Thompson, founder
of the program.
The verse, called by Thomp
son the Crimson Cachet, is
changed every year. The verse
that will be added to all letters
using the remailing program in
1983 is:
Our Cupid is a heart throb,
In every place and time.
But today he's extra special.
Since he's in your Valentine.
The verse is usually framed in
a background of the Rocky
Mountains and often shows a
young Cowboy cupid.
Valentine letters within the
United States are postmarked
and sent out on Feb. 9 or 10,
depending on the distance to be
travelled. Overseas letters are
generally sent out earlier.
The Valentine letters should
be addressed in the manner they
are to be delivered, including
correct zip code and proper
postage. They then should be
placed in an outside envelope
adressed to Postmaster, Love
land, Co. 80537 — Attn. Valen
tines. All letters sent to Love
land should arrive by Feb. 7, if
possible, to insure a Valentine's
Day return.
After the valentines arrive in
Loveland, the Crimson Cachet
is applied to each valentine by a
group of elderly retired citizens,
who work in conjunction with
the Chamber of Commerce.
Many of the retirees have dedi
cated their services for 20 years
or more, diligently applying the
postmark by hand.
Another special ingredient to
the sucess of the program is
Loveland's postmaster and his
staff, who have proven to be
ideal Cupid's Flelpers. As a re
sult of their cooperation, the
huge volume of Valentine mail
is handled quickly and carefully
so it will arrive on schedule.
So you see, it's simple to add
that little something extra to
your Valentine's Day greetings
— they don't call Loveland the
Sweetheart Town for nothing!
