Is like an young mistress to an old man.

Thrilling and exciting, but expensive as hell.

Just found some letters from the mid-to-late 1960's that my dad wrote to my then soon-to-be step-mother (my birth mother passed away when I was 9 months, a few years previous to his letters).

He was overseas, she was in San Fran for most of the time.

She kept everything for 50 years.

Amazing stuff. You could see a change in the writing styles and them getting closer throughout the months that this happened.

Writing is definitely a lost art.

Thats pretty cool to see that!!

that would be interesting.

I know , i too share this wunderful talent...

does he mention Godzilla..??

Letter writing is becoming a thing of the past. I have most the letters my brother wrote to me from Vietnam. He was a great letter writer and I think it gave him something to focus on while doing his Army duty.

Agreed.

Dad could write, banging away on the typewriter...where most of these letters were written.

I dig the "Tokyo is like" line....I break that out from time to time.

Enjoy the memories.
