"Since
4 P.M this afternoon I've been living in our new home. Dad and I completed the
job of moving in about that time. How I
could use a woman's help and advice in arranging the apartment!
"Of
course, it was meticulously clean and neat; but many problems have arisen. Where shall I put all of my books and
records? Needless to say bookshelf
facilities are meager....
"What
would you do if I were to welcome you into the apartment in January by
presenting the wardrobe--all dirty for laundering? That's not a fair question. It's purely
hypothetical--the circumstance."
--Letter
from my father, Protection, Kans., to my mother, Hutchinson, Kans., Wednesday, August
27, 1947. Protection is in southwestern Kansas, about 150 miles west of
Winfield, in south central Kansas, where my father and mother went to college.
He had a job teaching high school year for the 1947-1948 school year. My mother finished up her bachelor's degree
at Southwestern College that fall and joined my father in Protection after they
married in January 1948.
