In my possession are approximately 150 letters written by my father to my mother during WWII. He was in the Army Air Corp which became the Air Force. I am writing a book about the letters.
Dad was quite a letter writer and had some interesting ways to explain what was going on in his life and the world at that time. One example is his description of snowmelt on the mountains. He described them as bearded men who were getting a shave.
My intention is to include much of what he wrote along with my comments.

Thank you lesleycarter for your ‘Like’
Sounds like you get your love for writing straight from your dad, though he may not have realized he loved writing….Not to worry, Patty, you will have readers and you’re certainly doing your homework….Keep up the good work.
Thank you Sue. That means a lot to me.
I’m enjoying all your posts, Patty. This whole story is fascinating.
I’m thrilled that you think so, Carl.
