Mon, Feb 5, 1945: four good tires

"Yesterday afternoon Mother, Stanley & I, while Barbara studied, went down to Grandpa & Grandma's and today I took Grandpa to El Dorado to see about his A.A.A. sign up and I got the lights fixed on the car, they went out on Mother & Barbara coming home from church last night. I don't know wheither I ever told you or not, but I got two more new tires a short time back so that makes four good tires on the car now."

-- Letter from my grandfather, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Boulder, Colo., Monday, February 5, 1945.

Description

I have about a thousand of my parents' college letters, Navy letters, and love letters from the 1940's. These include letters my father wrote and received when he was at Southwestern College, Winfield, Kans. (1941-43, 1946-47), and when he was in the U.S. Navy serving stateside primarily learning Japanese (1943-46), letters my mother sent and received on a church trip in the summer of 1946, and especially letters my mother and father exchanged when they were engaged to marry but living in separate towns in Kansas (June 1947-January 1948). Many of the letters are from my father's family at their farm in Bloomington, Kans. I am reading these letters exactly seventy years after they were written and posting interesting quotes from them once a week or so.
