Letter From 1975

My great-grandmother sent my parents a letter shortly after I was born. I found it in a stack of old photographs, like the one in the previous entry. Anyway, here it is. Click on each page to read it, as I can't make them any bigger without jacking up Blogger.



The part where she tells my dad to set a good example is particularly poignant.



Just an ordinary letter to some, but for a guy who doesn't have much to connect to the past, this is huge. Great-grandma died more than 20 years ago. This is why families hold on to every little thing.
