This is the ultimate compliment that any writer might receive. Thank you for sharing this vivid and personal correspondence. It is truly remarkable and I will always remember it.
As we head into what looks to be another horror time with an out of control President and his followers we need to see and hear these truths. We in the U.S. have become politically lazy. This letter is an excellent reminder of what can easily happen if we keep our finger on "snooze."
The memory of some people, especially those who lived before the electronic distractions of the late 20th century and current times, is truly remarkable. It is how people passed culture and history. This story reminds me of Ray Bradbury's "Book people" in Fahrenheit 451, the people who found a remote place of safety and memorized whole books to recite constantly. Thank you, Shawn, for this post.
That’s a great one that hits home on the value of books and letters.
