Well, I’ve had an idea on what to do with this blog–or a companion blog, actually. When in World War II, my dad wrote lots of letters home to my grandmother and others. They are collected in a box in the closet. They are filled with wonderful memories and funny comments (my favorite to date is his clever hints to send boxes of goodies–particularly boxes filled with CANDY–emphasis his).
I’m planning to start adding a letter a week until they are all cataloged in (maybe more than once a week, maybe less). I think this should be a pretty interesting job to tackle and will be interesting to more than just the immediate family. I love old letters from anyone. These are priceless.
It will be a little while before I can get started–the letters are still at home. But keep checking!
