"In
about a week and a half I will be moving into the apartment that will
eventually become our first home. From
time to time I may need to buy equipment for it--e.g. kitchen ware. Your advice will be sought before I make any
purchases...
"[William
Allen White] says 'These movers were from western Kansas--...which holds a
charter from the state to officiate as the very worst, most desolate,
God-forsaken, man-deserted spot on the sad old earth,' That's where we'll live, honey. Still want to marry me?"
--Letter
from my father, Leon, Kans., to my mother, Hutchinson, Kans., Sunday, August
17, 1947. My father was getting ready to
move to Protection, Kans., to teach high school. My mother planed to join him there after she
finished college in the fall of 1947 and after they were married in January
1948.
