My Latest Project
In Tennessee last month, my Aunt Jo and I edited a booklet I have put together of letters from my
Uncle George when he was on the USS Lamar 1944 - 1946. Because we are presently too lazy to
read script, I typed a large number of letters he wrote to her during WWII and they will be put into booklets along with copies of newspaper clippings and memorabilia. Close relatives will all get
a copy. My aunt (who is now 97) is excellent at editing and we spent 9 hours together going over
all the details of the project. I would not trade this wonderful experience. . .
