One of them has rebuilt about 20 cars (off frame). <br />He drives a 41 Ford Business Coupe and just restored a 74 Ford pickup for his dad.<br />Both were absolutely beautiful.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-22729801834323226782019-08-19T22:32:29.625-04:002019-08-19T22:32:29.625-04:00Well I think those handwritten notes were beautifu...Well I think those handwritten notes were beautiful - looks like you had wonderful penmanship. <br />Now I am going to be opposite - I think that an email written in love is just as good as a handwritten note.<br />That is just me. <br />Plus it hard with the arthritis to write a lot for me - much easier to type!<br />SandieChatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-8808494808859524882019-08-19T21:08:09.584-04:002019-08-19T21:08:09.584-04:00Oh those are treasures.

I always hand write Christmas cards and letters., and probably will as long as I can. Most recently I sent a letter to Sy. He was so tickled to get 'snail mail.' lol We talked about how things have changed when he visited last weekend. It was great. You have the most beautiful penmanship. Now days, kids can't even read cursive....as they no longer teach it in the schools...another glimpse of progress. Your keeping letters 50 yrs. is amazing and very romantic.<br />love n' hugs from up north where it's cooling off in the 70'sDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-68551867583349288802019-08-19T19:03:51.221-04:002019-08-19T19:03:51.221-04:00LOVE that you've saved these letters! And yes,...LOVE that you've saved these letters! And yes, I recognized the air mail envelopes immediately. The first thing I thought of, were years 1961 & '62 when I'd spend 8 weeks at horse camp in Colorado. My parents saved some of those letters - and I don't know whether to laugh or cry at my communications. Even living 'next door' in Texas, I'd write my parents. Spending $ on long-distance calls wasn't something one did, except for special occasions.Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-24415890586151676722019-08-19T12:59:01.048-04:002019-08-19T12:59:01.048-04:00I love getting real mail instead of emails.

So many things automated! It is good though for those who are faithfully serving our company able to have contact with their families the way they do these days through technology. It doesn't bring them home quicker but I'm sure helps make their deployments a bit more tolerable.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-84530364930020281742019-08-19T10:49:46.338-04:002019-08-19T10:49:46.338-04:00I remember those air mail stamps I placed on the l...I remember those air mail stamps I placed on the letters I wrote to DDH when he was in the service. I have kept the ones he wrote many long years ago. Mail call was eagerly awaited for sure ! This is a good reminder of how much life has changed. We used to depend on letter writing to keep in touch. Thee days it's so much easier and still so many don't bother to make a call or send a text. It's so easy and still we don't take advantage of it.
