Thank you to all of you who read the letters sent back from three WW2 theatres of the war. We thought you might like to read an “ending” for them. Some of you may be wondering where and how they were found. Most of them were addressed to “Jean and Jerry” (Jerry was the brother who was not in the war due to medical reasons.) He and Jean were newly married and unknown to others, they kept all of the letters they received. Their son found them in a shoebox several years ago.

“Dear Beany,
Our last mail from you was your letter of Sept 13th- how about exercising your arm a little more often? Guess this letter is a few days late, so I’d better not kick.
