Only one letter today, but it’s a WHOPPER!
Dart starts off talking about the longest letters he writes are to his friend the Marine Sargent, Fred Dixon. The letters are long because they discuss common memories of good times they’ve shared, what’s cooking with all their high school clan who are stationed all over the world, current events, etc. Because he is determined to write a long letter to Dot tonight, he begins with his memories of their three dates together.
What a sweet and charming summary of their relationship to date. It’s quite obvious that both he and she were drawn together from the very first glance. It’s a romance that never wavered through years of courtship-by-mail, a long-distance engagement, and nearly six decades of marriage, ’til death did them part.
Please read this delightful account of their brief history to this point for yourself. Then there’s lots of other great stuff about his daily life in the hospital and more memories of high school days in his beloved Cleveland. What a writer!
