It was a few years ago in D.C., and a work colleague (who was a veteran) stumbled on a site which mentioned that the Library of Congress was implementing *The Home Front* archives.
I had catalogued all the letters, got permission from the widow (Mrs. Milano) who was thrilled to release them to the LoC. She loved writing and her husband(Pacific Theatre) wrote in his letters that one day she would be *published*
Staffers from the LoC actually came to my building on Pennsylvania Ave. to pick them up.
It will be one of my favorite stories for the grandkids.
Very nice story. Thanks for sharing! I’m a history buff, so anytime part of our history is discovered and saved is a blessing to me.
