"Daddy took some calves to Wichita this morning. I want to get some Christmas candy made to send to Dale. Don't suppose he'll get to come home. Will see you Friday Mother"
-- Postcard from my grandmother to my father, December 16, 1941. My father was a college freshman getting ready to come home for Christmas. His cousin Dale was a soldier, who likely wouldn't be home for Christmas.
