Wed, Jan 17, 1945: carrying on

"We are getting along nicely. We miss you men very much.  The girls are doing a great job, however, in carrying on until you return."

-- Letter from Rob Roy MacGregor, Winfield, Kans., to my father, Boulder, Colo., Wednesday, January 17, 1945.  MacGregor was one of my father's college professors. My mother, Ruth Murray, was one of the “girls” at Southwestern, having arrived there in 1944.
