"Before
I crawl into bed for that necessary sleep, I'll type out a brief note to let
you know that I arrived home safely. I
hitch-hiked the 34 miles from Greensburg to Protection so quickly that I wonder
if I shouldn't have made the entire trip by thumb. Three rides--the last with Don Todd, a 21 yr.
old senior whose sister teachers in the grades--brought me over that
distance. My 200 mile journey consumed
only about 6 hours of time."
--Letter
from my father, Protection, Kans., to my mother, Winfield, Kans., Sunday, October
26, 1947.
