Unless we go there, we will never see them again or the old leather pouch they were in. Some things can make you so damned mad. They are preserved but untouchable now, and out of the family for good.

You can't get them back at all??

That stinks.

Yea, it was pretty neat reading these letters .. he must have really liked being at Ester Field because he mentioned how much he could see himself staying in Louisiana instead of back in Philly and how nice the people were down there.

He was stationed in one area (not sure where) but he didn't like the camp at all .. talked about the bugs and how one day he was woken up by a cow licking his feet .. The kids got a kick out of that when I read it to them.

Oh and I also found out that at one point he was an MP

Esler Field wasn't a bad place to be stationed.... There are/were bugs of all kind in the South..lol....
If they needed them, most anyone could be detailed as an MP...I volunteered one time to be an MP just to get out of sh*t details...lol again

.....Westy.....
