A photo journey from early dates to marriage to kids to grandkids.
“Did your mother say anything about the early hours Sun. morning. I hope not. If she did just say it was one of those things that couldn’t be helped and of course she’ll understand. Probably too well. Hmmm….”
Scans of Jim’s eighth letter to Thelma.
“I kind of miss a certain friend of mine, you know, its kind of surprising, the moods I get in when I begin to feel that I’m getting lonesome for a girl. Not mentioning any names, of course. Well, I just wanted to write you before I went to bed. It’s funny to listen to the radio music on a Sat. night with all kinds of lights on and sitting here with my roommate. I’d much rather be with you.”
Scans of Jim’s seventh letter to Thelma.
“I’ve been over doing my mechanical drawing tonight. It’s a funny thing, but every time I drew a curve, I thought of you. Strange isn’t it? (Oh, I don’t know about that.) Pardon the vulgarity but it was a good joke, anyway.”
Scans of Jim’s sixth letter to Thelma.
“Just got an inspiration, my picture. I get so wrapped up in you I keep forgetting it. I have and idea. If I see you Friday night, (I hope), remind me to bring my picture when I see you Sat. night. Providing I make a date with you that is, but I don’t have a hell of a lot of doubt in my mind about that.”
Scans of Jim’s fifth letter to Thelma.
In letter 3 Jim mentions fires shutting down the school and in letter 4 having to go off and fight them. Turns out these were the worst fires in Maine’s history.
